Do children also have obstructive sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea or more appropriately “sleep disordered breathing” also occurs in children. This may range from simple snoring to obstructive sleep apnea. For understanding we should know that snoring is a noisy breathing with no interference in sleep or breathing pattern while in obstructive sleep apnea is repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction with disturbance in breathing and sleep and associated with reduction in oxygen saturation.
This not only affects the sleep but also affects the overall quality of life. Enlargement of adenoid and tonsil is a very common cause of sleep disordered breathing in children.

I was suffering from severe cough, cold and headache. I consulted with so many doctors, but did not get relief. My friend told me about Dr. Satinder and I consulted with him. He gave five days medicine for these symptoms. Surprisingly, I got relief in two days only. I am thankful for his great treatment that he had given to me. Thanks a lot.

I can't explain how much pain I was going through due to the mump at right side of my face. I got really scared as ear & throat both were paining. My boss suggested Dr. Satinder Singh, ENT specialist. Really Thanks to him for such a kind support and treatment. Within a day I was relived from the pain.
Few days back, got ulcers on the throat due to which unable to even inhale or eat or drink anything. Come to Dr. Satinder and really it was really a safest and quickest treatment i got and started normal diet within 3 days.
