Yesterday, a mom message caught my attention!
Mom said:
"Recently, I found that the child's mouth is a little convex, and I noticed it at night, as if it was breathing with my mouth open?"
"How to interfere with prevention? Are any correction patches sold online effective? ”
Searching on the Internet, there are really many mothers who are using "oral breath correction patches" for babies.
An Internet celebrity post, did not expect to have 10w+ sales on the whole network?? One or two of you are really ghostly, angry at me...
Mouth breath sticker this net red thing, not we ordinary people buy it and use it casually.
Look at these "big heart road wild" bao mom, really made me dizzy:
After the 4-year-old half-treasure was diagnosed by doctors with "adenoidal hypertrophy",
Bao Mom is still not dead hearted, still used many times only because of fear that the baby will become ugly.
Found that the child has some mouth bulges and teeth, the mother will judge that it is oral breathing.
In the middle of the night, I secretly put it on, and often took the initiative to tear it off after the baby found it.
All I can say is: You are really on the verge of death
。
Because, there is a very important reason for the breathing of children's mouths! That is: the child himself has an upper respiratory tract disease.
(Such as adenoid hypertrophy, tonsil hypertrophy, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, etc..... ）
These diseases often block your child's airway, causing the baby to be forced to open her mouth to breathe. At this time, if you stick it with a seal sticker, you will undoubtedly cover the child in your hands!
There are not a few children whose faces are red with sealed stickers.
But bao moms can't stand the "scare", as soon as they see these 5 pictures, they instantly shake their determination not to use the seal sticker:
This kind of picture to see more, don't say you, our old fan group of mothers will be devilish think that their own baby seems to have a problem:
In fact, to judge whether a child is breathing orally, we must not judge only from these 5 face pictures!
When the child is asleep, pinch his upper and lower lips firmly, close them together, and hold them for 5 minutes.

If, within 5 minutes, his lips are basically closed, then the likelihood of oral breathing is very small.
If within 5 minutes of pinching, you find that your child is struggling, obviously uncomfortable flipping, or even waking up, then you must be careful about oral breathing.

However, this method may require a second time to coax the parents to sleep, so the following 2 methods are also applicable!
1. Paper method
Parents can tear up the toilet paper into long strips, wait for the child to sleep, close to the outside of the lips and nostrils, respectively, to observe the flutter of the paper pieces, to determine whether the child is breathing with his mouth open.
2. Face mirror method
When your child is asleep, find a mirror, place it under your child's nose with the mirror facing up, and place the mirror in front of your child's mouth in the same way.
Observe and compare the fog on the mirror, if the nose exhales more fog, the child is breathing normally with the nose; conversely, if the mouth exhales more, it is oral breathing.
After the above 3 self-test methods, it is more accurate to judge whether the child is breathing orally, which is more accurate than looking at the face!
Then if you just open your mouth and don't breathe, it can't be counted as mouth breathing! (Can only say that there is a habit of opening the mouth)
Habitual mouth opening solution
1. Open mouth caused by tooth decay
If your child's teeth are more prominent, the mouth will naturally not be able to close, and over time it will form a habit of opening the mouth. At this time, you need to go to the dentistry for orthodontics. After the correction is completed, it is natural to close the mouth.
2. Weak muscle strength of the lips, resulting in the opening of the mouth
Learn to inflate
This method can be done anytime, anywhere, playing, bathing, walking, and going to and from school. Usually we ask our child to stick to the blowing time, from the first few seconds to half a minute, and then more than 1 minute without leaking.
Pick up the planks
Note: Hold only with your lips, not against your lips.
The wooden board can be used with popsicle sticks and rulers that you usually eat. Parents can gently smoke a wooden stick in the process of the child's persistence, if it is easy to loosen it, the child's strength is not in place, and continue to practice.
These trainings need to be accumulated day by day, and it is possible to exercise every day
But if it is really oral breathing, how to solve it?
It is said that as long as there is a child with rhinitis, 8 out of 10 will breathe.
There is some truth to this statement.
Because: as long as the nose is blocked, the child can only use the mouth to compensate for breathing.
If you want to solve the problem of oral breathing, you must first solve the following 3 common problems!
1. Rhinitis: long-term allergic rhinitis, sinusitis....
Whether it is allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, it can cause congestion of the nasal mucosa and then poor breathing!
Of course, the type of rhinitis is not tolerated, and the medication and course of treatment are naturally different. Ke da da simply made a diagram for your reference:

2. Adenoidal hypertrophy, tonsillar hypertrophy:
At the age of 3-6 years old, the adenoids and tonsils will appear hypertrophic.
At the same time, enlarged tonsils and adenoids will further block the airway, so that the pressure of the nasal airway will increase, and the incidence of oral breathing will be increased again.
If the condition is severe, surgery may be required!
Whether to do surgery in the end, you can refer to this article: do you want surgery for adenoidal hypertrophy? After reading these real cases, decide!
3. Excessive obesity:
Excessive obesity can also cause obesity in the body's organs, such as adenoid hypertrophy, so come and see if your treasure is overweight?
Hands-on tips for teaching you how to look:
1. Calculate the child's BMI value according to the formula;
2. First look at the lower horizontal axis to find the child's age;
3. Look at the vertical axis on the left side again and find the position of the child's BMI value;
4. The position where the horizontal line and the vertical line cross, that is, the child's weight range;
You can see whether it is low, normal or fat.
Finally, I would like to talk about it: oral breathing will also have a certain impact on adults!
● Sleep snoring, severe apnea. ● Morning headache, daytime drowsiness, learning and life efficiency greatly reduced. ● Changes in the dental arch and decreased chewing function. ● The lips, oral mucosa, pharynx are dehydrated and dry, causing respiratory secretions to be viscous, not easy to cough out, repeated stimulation of the lower respiratory tract, easy to get tracheitis. ● Changes in the internal environment of the mouth and nose lead to a weakening of resistance to resident pathogens, which can easily induce oral diseases and respiratory diseases.
Therefore, the matter of oral breathing really does not distinguish between young and old, and the whole family must be cured!
