小儿打鼾≠睡的酣？几岁大的小孩，入睡后就发出鼾声，有的父母可能会认为这是孩子睡得熟的缘故。殊不知，北京武警总 队第二医院耳鼻咽喉科专家指出，小儿睡觉打呼噜，并且睡眠中出现鼻塞、憋气等现象，可能是患有 小儿鼾症。小儿打呼噜的现象比较普遍，有资料显示，小儿鼾症的发生率约为2—4％，而且不少成人鼾症患者在儿童期就开始打鼾。只 是小孩鼾症在过去并没有引起人们足够的重视。武警总队第二医院耳鼻咽喉专家说，小儿打鼾其实是一种病，小儿夜间睡觉经 常打呼噜，说明他的呼吸道不通畅，睡眠质量不高。时间一长会引起面部畸形发育、注意力不集中、记忆力下降、 智力降低等并发症，导致孩子学习成绩下降。一些孩子因此被误诊为注意力不集中的多动症。儿童鼻咽部比较狭小 ，扁桃体感染和腺样体肥大是导致小儿鼾症的主要原因。因此，治疗小儿鼾症一般需要行扁桃体和腺样体切除术。
