Question
How to deal with the symptoms of a blocked nose and snoring in children during sleep?
Answer
For the symptoms of a blocked nose and snoring in children during sleep, the first consideration should be lifestyle changes. If this does not resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consider undergoing laser-assisted uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (LAUP) surgery. This surgery can widen the airway, reducing snoring sounds. LAUP surgery is performed under regional anesthesia and typically takes 30 minutes. It may require multiple procedures to completely resolve the problem. Overall, this surgery has few side effects, and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately after the procedure.
