My Child Snores—Should I Be Worried?

Occasional snoring is common in children. But loud, frequent snoring with gasping, choking, or pauses in breathing may signal sleep apnea, often caused by enlarged tonsils or adenoids.

It’s best to consult an ENT specialist for evaluation and possible sleep study.

Prevention Tips:
✅ Yawn, swallow, or chew gum during ascent/descent

✅ Try earplugs designed for flying

If you feel severe pain or hearing loss after a flight, consult your ENT.
