A member asked:
My child snores all the time; what is the cause of that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Airway obstruction: Please have your child seen by your pediatrician. Snoring is a red flag for possible obstructive sleep apnea which may deprive your child's brain of oxygen at night. A sleep study may be warranted.
