Child Sleep Apnea

Child sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where a child repeatedly stops breathing during sleep, often due to blocked airways. This can cause snoring, restless sleep, or gasping for air, leading to poor sleep quality. Symptoms may include daytime fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and behavioral issues. It commonly occurs in children with enlarged tonsils or adenoids, but can affect anyone. Diagnosis typically involves a sleep study, and treatment options range from lifestyle changes to medical procedures, depending on the severity. Early intervention can help improve a child's sleep and overall health.
