Cause for your mouth breathing needs to be identified which may be because of deviated nasal septum, chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, inferior turbinate hypertrophy etc. Once mouth breathing is treated usually recurrent infections will come down
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
