This is an era of looking at faces, although the appearance does not represent everything, but it can definitely add icing on the cake.
Which mother did not fantasize
If you have a daughter, beautiful and lovely,
If you have a son, lively and handsome.
However, don't look at the baby's meat now is very cute, there is a problem from childhood not to pay attention to, may directly lead to the baby getting longer and uglier!
It's not that the genes are bad or that you breathe with your mouth open
Time goes on! remnant! finish!
Breathing with the mouth open for a long time, the face develops "down", becomes narrow and long, the chin retreats backwards, leaving the perfect and natural position, the chin retracts, the nose appears larger, and the flesh on the cheeks also appears to fall, this face is typical of the face shape of a child breathing with the mouth!
The left picture is normal The right picture is oral breathing
So, can it still be said that it is a genetic problem?!
That baby parents are worried, will the baby also breathe with the mouth?
Under normal circumstances, babies breathe with their noses, rhinitis, adenoidal hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy and other diseases may lead to long-term non-ventilation of the nose, and if they do not breathe, they will use their mouths to breathe!
The baby's nose is out of condition, but it is really not a small thing!
Does your child always sleep with his mouth open to breathe?
Do you always snore?
If yes, then pay attention!
Take advantage of the fact that the child is small, and now it is too late to know!
Adenoidal hyperplasia and hypertrophy make the child ugly and stupid
When it comes to the causes of snoring in children, doctors say that about 80% of them are due to simultaneous hypertrophy of the tonsils and adenoids. Children's tonsils and adenoids are repeatedly stimulated and infected. Irritation includes irritation of airflow, irritation of microorganisms, and allergic reactions.
Tonsillar hypertrophy to a certain extent, in addition to affecting the child's swallowing, may also cause the child to snore during sleep, obstructive sleep apnea. The adenoids are located in the apical posterior part of the nasopharynx, which belongs to lymphoid tissue, and may be congested and enlarged when often stimulated, which will block the respiratory tract and affect sleep.
The otolaryngologist of the first major hospital said that the child grows into an adenoidal face, not a day or two, every time the child has a cold, when there is a viral and bacterial infection, the adenoids will occur pathological hypertrophication and hypertrophy, which will block the child's breathing channel. In the long run, an ugly adenoidal face is formed.
The left is normal and the right is the adenoidal face
In addition to adenoidal hypertrophy, allergic rhinitis, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal polyps, chronic sinusitis, these nasal diseases will make the nasal space narrow or even completely closed, the air flow through the nasal cavity encounters obstruction, forcing the child to switch to mouth breathing, over time will form an adenoidal face.
Not only the face, but also the cervical spine. Oral breathing posture naturally leads to the patient's usual head lifting up in order to smooth the trachea, the patient's face begins to develop vertically, rather than the ideal horizontal development, and leads to a slanted forehead, and a forward-leaning head and cervical spine, as well as a deformed jaw bone.
To be precise, the adenoidal face is caused by opening the mouth for a long time, that is, as long as you usually have the habit of keeping your mouth open all the time, whether you breathe with your mouth or nose, it will lead to this face over time.
Not only that, due to the child's long-term poor breathing, lack of oxygen and blood in the brain, it will also lead to poor general development and nutritional status of the child, which directly leads to the child's attention is often inattentive, unresponsive, memory decline, affecting intellectual development.
Therefore, when parents find that their children have been breathing through their mouths, they must pay attention. Be sure to correct this bad habit in time, otherwise when the child grows up, it will be too late to regret it!
As long as it is found that the child has been breathing with his mouth open when he is sleeping, watching TV, dazed and other relaxed states, he must pay attention, especially when sleeping snoring, often rhinitis, sinusitis and other symptoms. In this case, it is best to take your baby to the ear, nose and throat department to see a doctor as soon as possible.
