“Do kids need a sleep test for sleep apnea?”
My daughter has been snoring and it's completely abnormal since she's only 7 years old. What tests would she need to confirm sleep apnea? Does she need to do a sleep study?

They do, it can be in a sleep lab or at home.

A sleep test and examination of the nose and throat would be appropriate. Enlarged tonsils and obesity are the most frequent causes of sleep apnea in children.
