“Is sleep apnea dangerous in children?”
I think my son has sleep apnea because he's been snoring abnormally loud and wakes up throughout the night. Is sleep apnea dangerous in children?

Yes, it is, and it should be treated. It can induce significant learning and behavioral problems and also cause remodeling of the throat and tongue in unfavorable ways. He should be seen
by an ENT doctor and possibly a sleep specialist.
