Heavy breathing during sleeping
My son breathes heavily while sleeping. I counted his total breathes a minute which are 15-16 breathes per minute. He has to open his mouth after some time as it becomes difficult for him. Please suggest what should I do ?

Good morning, It can be normal also. Look for child growth and nose problems, if any, if all of conditions are ok, nothing is required. Take care. For more information follow my Instagram : tiwari_child_clinic (Health Question & Answer) 🙏Tiwari child clinic Delhi 🙏
