It might not be an abnormal occurence for children to snore, since about 12 percent of them snore from one year to nine years. But, if your child is snoring, do not take it for granted, you should take that child for medical examination to actually determine the cause of snoring as to certify the safe health of the child.
If your child snores consistently, ti might br a result of OSAS known as sleep apnea syndrome. In this case, the child's snore might be very loud and he or she is usually restless through the night becuase of the uncomfortable breathing conditions. This will lead to the child waking up several times at night, and each time he or she returns to sleep, the loud snore continues immediately. This is not a usual occurrence for msot children, but every parent must be aware of some of the factors that might indicate the existence of the sleep apnea (OSAS).
Most of the factors that indicate this condition are:
The lack of the ability to pronounce words perfectly. The child will experience a speech impediment making it difficult to speak clearly.
The child will experience a retardation in growth since all his or her energy is used uo while breathing. This also makes it difficult for the child to eat well, because of the struggle to breathe and eat at the very same time - this makes the feeding time a very slow process.
Because of lack of proper sleep the child experiences the feeling of drowsiness and in the effort to be alert hyperactivity becomes the end point.
It will be discovered that the child educational performance in school is not good, because of the lack of peaceful sleep at night.
If you notice these signs in your child, it will probably mean he or she has a sleep apnea and in that case, a visit to the pediatric doctor will be recommended as this issue will be analysed with medical examinations to get a treatment suitable for the child. When treated the child's performance at school will improve since sufficient sleep is denied at night.
There are also other factors that cause snoring in children apart from sleep apnea (OSAS), and they are:
Children suffering from asthmatic conditions snores, because this ailment affects the respiratory system, thus producing snoring while the child sleeps.
When the adenoids of a child is enlarged as a result of the infiltrations of allergies bringing about the inflammation of nasal linings, the child snores. This is becasue the breathing process of the child is impaired and every thing returns back to normal once the allergy is treated.
Children suffering from obesity will also snore, statistics show that about 40 percent children suffering from obesity snores. In this case, there are obstructions produced in the respiratory pathways of air as a result of the accumulation of fat round about the throat region. Too much fat can also result to the malfunctioning of the diaphragm which can also result to snoring.
When a child experiences cold, the organs in the nasal and respiratory carvities are enlarged leading to snoring. If the adenoid is enlarged it can also cause snoring. These two conditions if treated will bring about the end to the snoring sound produced by the child while sleeping.
Other instances like the inability of the muscles and nerves of the child to handle the movement of the air passages in the respiratory tract can lead to snoring. When the child's jaw was not properly developed, snoring can be the resultant problem.
