Considering the average snore can reach 60 to 90 decibels, we’re talking a seismic event here. The source of the snore You can usually blame snoring on some kind of obstruction in your nose or throat. Stuffy noses from allergies, congestion from a respiratory infection, swollen tonsils or adenoids, and even excess weight can all lead to snoring. Likewise, an oversized tongue or long uvula, that dangly flap of tissue at the back of your mouth, may be to blame. Tongue and throat muscles made weak by alcohol or certain medications can also slacken the tongue or cause the throat to close in on itself.

Snoring in kids could mean other problems, doctors say
lol August 20, 2013 at 11:04 | Report abuse | Charlie Our middle son, which is 4 now, was breastfed until he was 15 months old. He never ONCE took a bottle, he refused it. Once he was 7 months old he was eating some baby food, but still breastfed. When he sleeps, it sounds like our neighbors are working on their chainsaw. He saws logs. So the statement that breastfeeding longer seems to protect kids from persistent snoring does not hold water. In fact, he has been the sickest of our 3 boys by far.
