Dr. Wang Qiuyue
Snoring in infants is not necessarily normal. If the snoring is relatively soft, it may result from deep sleep. However, if the snoring is loud, it could indicate inflammation and subsequent swelling in the pharynx or tonsils, leading to airway narrowing and snoring during breathing. It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital for a comprehensive evaluation. If inflammation is confirmed, timely anti-inflammatory medication—prescribed and supervised by a physician—should be administered.
