Sleep and breathing
Snoring in children
Frequent loud snoring, breathing pauses and restless sleep should not automatically be considered normal.
Targeted investigation
Assessment may include history, examination, overnight oximetry and referral for a fuller sleep study when indicated.
Team approach
Depending on the findings, collaboration with ENT or sleep specialists may be appropriate.
