Abstract:
Changes that produce sleep breathing disorders in children and their possible negative consequences on children's future health and social life provide clear justification for a good therapeutic approach. To achieve an optimal treatment strategy, the causes of the disorder must be identified and an initial interdisciplinary evaluation must be carried out. New contributions on the relationship between these conditions and inflammation of the upper respiratory tract have opened up new therapeutic alternatives. This article discusses the relationship between sleep breathing disorders in children and obesity and the implications for achieving a more successful therapeutic approach. The usefulness of medical treatments using intranasal corticosteroids and drugs that reduce the inflammatory component of the airways is also reviewed, including the treatment of associated abnormalities that can aggravate these disorders.
