child snoring loudly

[palem]

Hi, dont know if im posting in the right section but i havea 30mth old daughter that snores very loudly and i mean very very loud. one can hear her in the next room snoring and on occasions when she sleeps with us she has woken me with her snoring. i dont know if this is a problem cuz i dont think its normal for a child to snore this loudly. she's not overweight but she does love to eat. Please let me know what i can do. Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi,

It is true that tonsils and adenoids are a common cause of snoring in children. The child should be taken to the paediatrician without delay as the child may be getting too little oxygen and too much carbon dioxide which can lead to poor heart and lung development if left unchecked. So i suggest please consult a paediatrician as soon as you can.

Hi,
don't worry about the forum as it is important what your concern is, children in this age group do snore due to Adenoids which is commonest cause for snoring, also respiratory infections. so better you consult an ENT specialist who can examine your daughter and treat accordingly.

Hi,
Please consult your paediatrician,he would refer you to a ENT surgeon.Adenoid hyperplasia is condition which can be treated by him .Parental smoking ,in a recent study has proved to a cause of snoring in the peadiatric age group.
The cause has to be known,and accordingly the treatment need to planned.
Goodluck.
