One of the most common is nasal congestion due to allergies or the common cold. If the runny nose is chronic, it exacerbates breathing difficulties during sleep and causes snoring.
One of the causes in children is adenoids, an abnormal growth of nasopharyngeal tonsil lymphoid tissue, which is more common in children aged 3 to 10 years. The more adenoids, the stronger snoring until apnea.
A less obvious but also common cause of snoring is an abnormal palate. A very soft and thick palate makes it difficult to breathe during sleep, causing snoring and often sleep apnea.
Obesity is among the causes of snoring. Excess weight affects the respiratory system during sleep and makes it difficult to breathe. Alcohol has the same effect. Moreover, someone who does not have such problems while sober with alcohol poisoning can snore. Your sleeping position can also cause snoring.
News cannot be equated with a doctor’s prescription. Consult an expert before making a decision.
