My Child Snores—Should I Be Worried?

Occasional snoring is common in children. But loud, frequent snoring with gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing may signal sleep apnea, often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids.

It’s best to consult an ENT specialist for evaluation and possible sleep study.
