Sleep

Is your child’s snoring keeping you up at night? If so, you’re not alone. Snoring is a common symptom, occurring in about 3-12% of children. Risk factors for snoring include:

• being overweight
• having allergies
• other causes of nasal obstruction
• having enlarged adenoids and/or tonsils
• exposure to second hand smoke.

Treatment for these underlying conditions, when found, should help your child snore less often and sleep better.
