Snoring in kids and teens signals airway obstruction and needs evaluation by a pediatric ENT. Check tonsils and adenoids with a CT scan, and for ages 5 to 12, see an orthodontist to rule out a narrow or retruded lower jaw that blocks proper breathing.
I noticed during his sleep, let's go back to, you know, my favorite topic. Yeah. He was snoring a little bit and sometimes getting like intermittent oxygen where he was like, you know, doing that kind of thing. That was a red flag for me because kids should never snore. Tip number one, if you're, if you're younger than teenager, even a teenager snores, you got to go to a pediatric ENT. You got to have their tonsils and adenoids evaluated with a CT scan. And then eventually when they're 5 to 12 years old, an orthodontist should look at their jaw to make sure it's not too narrow or the lower jaw is not too retruded or further back because that can make the tongue not able to sit in a place where they can breathe well.
