Is snoring in children normal?

Mild occasional snoring in children can be normal, especially during colds. However, persistent or loud snoring may indicate a health problem such as enlarged adenoids, tonsils, or sleep apnea. Signs that require medical consultation include:

  • Difficulty breathing during sleep.
  • Pauses in breathing.
  • Restless sleep and frequent waking at night.
  • Excessive daytime sleepiness.
  • If you notice any abnormal signs, consult your doctor for evaluation and diagnosis.
