Primary Snoring in Pediatric Patients

Primary snoring in pediatric patients refers to snoring without any associated breathing problems during sleep, such as pauses in breathing or low oxygen levels. It is common among children and typically occurs due to factors like nasal congestion, anatomical features, or sleep position. While primary snoring is generally not harmful, it can affect sleep quality and, consequently, a child's behavior and performance during the day. It is important for parents to monitor their child’s snoring and consult a healthcare provider if it worsens or if there are concerns about sleep quality.
