Question
Description of Condition (time of onset, main symptoms, changes in symptoms, etc.): The child is well; a four-year-old boy has been snoring. He has undergone checks. Can it be treated, etc., etc.
Answer
Snoring in children is very likely to be caused by incomplete vocal fold closure, often due to incorrect pronunciation methods, excessive vocal use, and muscle overexertion. Organic causes mainly include secondary diseases such as vocal polyps, vocal nodules, cricoarytenoid joint disease, abnormal vocal cord development, and vocal cord scarring. In addition, injuries, surgical intubation, tumors around the larynx, and colds can also damage the laryngeal nerves, leading to vocal cord paralysis and incomplete vocal fold closure. If there are congenital developmental abnormalities of the vocal cords, such as a vocal cord groove, autologous fat injection into the vocal cords can be performed. If long-term chronic inflammation does not respond well to medication, a long-lasting hormone injection into the vocal cords can be performed.
