Snoring is a condition that most of us will associate with an adult. The idea of children snoring is a little unnerving. I thought I could give you a little run down on this subject because I don’t think people talk about it much. In fact, most people don’t even talk about snoring in general, let alone kids. Despite how taboo or odd you may find this to be, it actually isn’t that uncommon for a child to snore. Anywhere between 3-12% have it, which does make it appear to be much more common. Most of the children that fall into this percentage range are actually quite healthy, with no other issues.

With children snoring you’re going to think that there is a health concern with it, but for the most part it just happens without any issues. I have to point out that a small percentage of the children that do end up snoring do have it because of obstructive sleep apnea (around 2%). This is a much serious issue and a lot of new medical studies are showing that this can lead to behavioral and school problems. Obviously if you suspect that this is the reason for snoring than you’ll want to speak to a doctor about it. I don’t want you to get scared though since it is about 2% of children that are snoring. Remember, only 3-12% of children snore in the first place, so it is a very slim odd that it could happen to your child. Continue reading ‘Should You Be Worried About Your Children Snoring?’ »
