Are you surprised at how loud your child snores? Or worse yet, have you noticed that he or she gasps for breath while sleeping? Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a common problem in children. In most cases removing the tonsils and adenoids will take care of this problem. Recent research studies have also found that pediatric obstructive sleep apnea may be a contributing factor in attention deficit disorder (ADD) / attention deficient hyperactive disorder (ADHD).
