Dr. Medhat Abu-Shaaban, Medical director and pediatrician in Dubai at myPediaclinic (Voted best pediatric clinic in Dubai) discusses the reason behind snoring.
If the child is snoring at night, or if he breathes through his mouth during the day, you should directly report this to his pediatrician because there is a high chance that he might have Adenoid hypertrophy.
Adenoid hypertrophy can cause severe complications such as accumulation of fluids in the middle ear or hearing loss.
It might even block breathing at night several times and reduces the oxygen intake, which could impair the child’s academic achievement and ability to focus.
