Boy, 12, Mouth Breathing, Gurgaon

Question

Asked for Male, 12 Years

My son is 12Yrs old and mouth breather since long. 2 times surgery done for Adenoid removals with a view to easy the nose breath but no effect. I am badly worried as his facial features will disturb over time. Gone to many ENTs advise me to repeatedely warn the kid to close his mouth but its doesn't help. He again starts mouth breath within 30-40 secs. If I cover his mouth , he starts nose breath even for 3-4 minutes. Any help will be appreciated.

Mooth breathing may not be soley becausevof adenoids it can be beacuse of blocked nose, large toungue other oral any deformities. Check for nasal block and deviated nasal septum with hypertrophy of turbinate inside nostril on one side this can cause moth breathing. Child is not willingly doing it so waring doesn't work, if nasla block is there give himregular steam inhalation twice a day, And see for other oral anamolies. If there is afamily history of hypothyroid get your child checked up thyroid levels once.
