Tip Of The Day | Sleep Apnea In Children | Daytona Beach Child Injury Lawyer

Obstructive sleep apnea commonly occurs when swollen tonsils or adenoids obstruct the airways during sleep. The condition affects as many as 3 percent of preschool-age children, says the Nemours Foundation.

Here are common symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea in children:

•     Snoring, which is usually accompanied by gasping sounds and pauses in breathing.
•     Heavy breathing during sleep.
•     Sleeping restlessly or sleeping in strange positions.
•     Changes in skin color.
•     Sleepiness during the day.
