I often snore during naptime, and it’s quite loud. I’m energetic in the morning. My appetite isn’t very good; I hardly eat. I don’t have much of an appetite. I only eat vegetables when I see something delicious, not rice. Every time I snore, my mother covers my nose with her hand for ten seconds…
Answer
Snoring in children can be caused by a variety of factors, including narrowing of the nasopharynx, enlarged nasal turbinates, enlarged tonsils, and enlarged adenoids. If not treated in time, it may interfere with their normal life. Firstly, when children sleep with their mouths open, the pressure of airflow may cause their faces to grow abnormally and develop a “stupid” facial appearance. In addition, snoring causes children to experience brain hypoxia during deep sleep, affecting intellectual development. Moreover, these children are at a much greater risk of developing high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke in adulthood. Therefore, treating snoring is particularly important for the child’s health. The treatment can be done through the low-temperature plasma ablation technique. Depending on the situation, the technique is used under direct visualization with an endoscope to treat the child’s tonsils and adenoids using plasma technology, achieving a thorough treatment effect.
