Snoring / Snorting
Why it happens
Occasional snoring is common and no cause for alarm,
and if your baby or toddler is sawing logs more
frequently, it may be because he has allergies or is
congested from a cold. But if your child is snoring or
snorting continually during sleep, it may be a sign of
sleep apnea. This is a serious sleep disorder in which
enlarged adenoids (glands in the throat just behind
the nose) and / or tonsils repeatedly block the upper
airway passages during the night, making it difficult
for your child to breathe. When your child's muscles
relax at night, oversized glands can temporarily block
air from getting to his lungs.
Whatever the cause, snoring may be depriving your
child of some of the benefits of sleep — when he can't
breathe, he automatically wakes up briefly — and could
lead to problems during the day, too. Many children
who snore tend to be drowsy during the day, have
weight problems and difficulty in school, get
headaches in the morning, and wet the bed more
frequently than children who don't snore.
What you can do about it
If you think your baby has sleep apnea, start by
telling his doctor about it. He'll probably refer you
to an ear, nose, and throat specialist to have your
child's tonsils and / or adenoids evaluated and
possibly removed. This relatively simple outpatient
operation usually does the trick. Some children
develop sleep apnea because they're overweight; if
that's the case for your child, his doctor will help
you modify his diet.
If your child's snoring or snorting is connected to
illness or allergies, ask his pediatrician about the
best way to proceed. For a cold you'll probably just
have to hang in there, but if the cause is allergies,
using an air purifier, keeping your house pet-free,
monitoring what your child eats, or giving him
medication may help.
