Namaste, Thank you for your question. Mouth breathing during sleep in children with adenoids is quite common and can vary with sleeping position. When your daughter sleeps on her side, gravity can cause the adenoid tissue to press more on the airway, making it harder to breathe through the nose—hence the mouth opens. Sleeping on her back keeps the airway more aligned, making nasal breathing easier. ✅ Suggestions to help her sleep straight: • Use a slightly elevated pillow under her head and soft support pillows on either side to gently guide her to sleep on her back. • Keep the room airway-friendly: cool, well-ventilated, and not too dry. A mild steam inhalation before sleep may also help open nasal passages. • Massage her chest and back with warm sesame oil in the evening to ease breathing and promote good sleep. • Ayurvedic herbs like Sitopaladi churna, Talisadi, or Anu Taila (nasya therapy, if age-appropriate and under guidance) can be helpful in long-term adenoid support. But since she’s young, and the condition was earlier under control, this may just be a temporary aggravation. Do observe her for 1-2 weeks, and if symptoms persist or worsen, consider a pediatric ENT evaluation alongside Ayurvedic management. Wishing your daughter good health and restful sleep

Mouth breathing in children with adenoids can worsen based on sleeping posture. Sleeping on the side may cause partial airway blockage, leading to mouth opening. Encourage back (straight) sleeping by using a small pillow under the knees and side cushions to prevent rolling. Also, do gentle nasya therapy (like Anu taila) under guidance to reduce nasal blockage. Consult an Ayurvedic physician for personalized support and long-term management.
