Patient's question:
Children often breathe with their mouths while napping, and sleeping sideways doesn't seem to help either. Sometimes, if they cover their mouths with their hands, they continue to sleep without waking up, but other times they wake up. Is there any way to stabilize this?Doctor's answer:
Based on your previous description of the condition, it is considered that mouth breathing may be related to tonsillar enlargement or adenoid hypertrophy. It is recommended to take your child to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for examination. Surgical treatment may be necessary if needed. Drink more water, pay attention to preventing colds, and avoid getting cold. The above suggestions are for the question "How to treat a child who always breathes through the mouth while sleeping?" and it is hoped that it will be helpful to you.Wish the patient a speedy recovery!
