Sleep apnoea is a condition where children experience pauses in their breathing during sleep, often accompanied by gasping or coughing. One common form, obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), occurs due to blockages in the airway, frequently caused by enlarged tonsils and adenoids. Leading consultant ENT surgeon Mr Amit Parmar provides a guide to sleep apnoea, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options and lifestyle changes.
