While an occasional snore from your child might seem harmless, persistent snoring could be a sign of something more serious—like obstructive sleep apnea.
At ENT & Allergy Associates, our pediatric ENT specialists in New York, New Jersey, and Texas diagnose and treat the underlying causes of childhood snoring to protect your child’s sleep and development.
Warning Signs of Pediatric Sleep Apnea
- Loud, regular snoring
- Pauses in breathing during sleep
- Daytime fatigue or hyperactivity
- Bedwetting or difficulty focusing in school
Common Causes
- Enlarged tonsils and adenoids
- Nasal obstruction or chronic allergies
- Obesity or anatomical issues
We may recommend a sleep study, and in some cases, tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy can dramatically improve sleep and breathing.
