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.

Ang malakas na pag hilik ay di dapat balewalin. Magpakonsulta na para maiwasan ang mga komplikasyon ng sleep apnea.

Q: Is loud snoring harmful?

A: Loud snoring can be more than just a nuisance; it may indicate obstructive sleep apnea, a condition where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep. It can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and fatigue. Consult with a healthcare provider if you experience loud snoring.
