Why do children sleep with their mouths open?

Many children like to sleep with their mouths open, and this habit problem needs to be corrected by parents, otherwise the child's teeth and mouth shape will not develop well in the future.

1. The first thing to think about in clinical practice is whether it has anything to do with a cold, because there are usually obvious nasal congestion when you have a cold, and the child's mouth and nose breathing are not very coordinated, and because of the characteristics of body anatomy at this age, the lymphatic tissue of the throat itself is also relatively rich, and this part itself is relatively narrow, so it is easy to open the mouth to breathe when sleeping at night.

2. If the child can only open his mouth to breathe, and in the absence of a cold, there is obvious snoring, or severe apnea, it is necessary to consider whether it is the so-called adenoid hypertrophy, and ask a doctor of the ENT department to make a diagnosis.

3. Children have poor resistance at this age, and their tonsils are most likely to be affected, so some children's tonsils are reversed, and the tonsils are sometimes swollen obviously, causing this place to breathe poorly, and mouth breathing appears, and the situation may be better after the inflammation is eliminated.

My baby is like this in the first few months, mainly because the baby's sleep at this time is mostly in light sleep, when the baby sleeps in light sleep, it will be full of expressions, open mouth, mouth squirming, laughing, crying and other interesting performances, to the baby gradually grows up, deep sleep for a long time, you can not see these interesting expressions.

It's okay, so is my baby. We understand that it is better to breathe, hehe.

Analysis: Hello, sleeping with your mouth open is a nasal obstruction that forces the child to breathe through the mouth.

Guidance: There are cilia in the nasal cavity, which can expel the microorganisms and dust inhaled with the air during activity, and there are also paranasal sinuses in the nasal cavity, which can warm the inhaled air.

You can let your baby drink more water, and you can also use a cotton swab to gently put it on the nostrils, and gently pull it out after the nasal scab is soft.
