Trying To Conceive4 years ago

Q.

My son 17 months old. Very active and excited. During day time he stays mostly mouth open. But during night when he sleeps he breaths through his nose only even though he opens his mouth little bit. Is this a big concern?

A. Thanks for your reply. That’s a good relief. He is comfortable the way he breaths so will wait and see 😊

A. this is very common in children and due to recurrent allergy as well as cough and cold there is congestion in the nose as well as oral cavity and due to decreased airway pathway such type of difficulty in breathing can occur but kindly do not worry and if the child is comfortable you can wait and watch and it will improve with time

A. don't actually think so.. as some babies will have certain strange habits.. that may change as the baby grows.. is there any signs of uncomfort in babies as breathing issue or else.. then consult the doctor..
