Snoring is related to the problem, which is caused by a restriction in the airways.

Two treatment alternatives that offer great hope are oral myofascial therapy and learning how to breathe properly while being awake.
It is also important to treat any breathing problems that a child may have, as they can seriously affect their health. It is very recommendable breastfeeding babies and to pay special attention to their food during the early years, as this could prevent such problems from occurring in the first place.
