Is it normal for a preschooler to snore?

[1sherwood]

My almost 4 year old snores frequently and loudly, in my opinion. Is this normal, or should I be concerned about his tonsils and adenoids. I just had mine out last year and wirry it is hereditary. He's rarely ever sick, knock on wood. So no throat, ear or frequent colds. But, my husband and i both have seasonal allergies badly. He was just diagnosed with eczema and we just took him off milk for a suspected dairy allergy/IBS. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I agree with you about the milk many children cant metabolize it..check out any virus going round in your area and passed on at school /daycare.

My son snores.  He's just turned 7 and been doing it for a while.  He does have seasonal allergies and takes OTC clariten for them.  So far, no one is concerned about it in terms of his doctors.  Always check with your docs but in answer to your question ---  problably a fair number of kids snore.  goodluck

Children do snore , usually if they lay on their backs so prop something behind her to keep her on her side.It could well be adenoids or deviated septum,and yes tonsils , I would have her checked out for that .Good luck
