"Oral breathing" refers to a person's long-term exhalation with the mouth. It is understood that this way of breathing will have an impact on people's facial appearance and will also cause respiratory infections.
Dr. Como of Respiratory Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University said that most people use nasal breathing methods, and nasal breathing has benefits such as heating, humidification and filtration of air. Most people who take oral breathing are forced to breathe orally because their nasal breathing is blocked and the body needs oxygen. "Due to the loss of nasal function caused by the pathology of the nose, patients who choose compensatory oral breathing should actively look for the primary disease and go to the ENT specialist for treatment, and normal people should consciously exercise nasal breathing."

Doctor: There are risks associated with using a corrective patch to seal the mouth
"My granddaughter just had adenoidal hypertrophy surgery this year, and I found that the child likes to breathe with his mouth and sleep over and over, and after the examination, it is because of adenoidal hypertrophy." Ms. Sun, a citizen who came to the second hospital of the Medical University, told reporters. Oral breathing symptoms caused by adenoidal hypertrophy in children are very common in young children, but she did not think of using a mouth closure for the child to correct, Ms. Sun said: "If the child's mouth is sealed, it is more dangerous to not be able to breathe." ”
Wu Xu, a full-time physician in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University, said that the excessive publicity of the harm of "oral breathing" on the Internet has indeed made many mothers anxious, but there are risks in using corrective stickers to seal their mouths. ▼ Wu Xu said that in general, children's oral breathing symptoms are more obvious at night, children have nasal congestion, otitis media, snoring at night, sleeping like to turn over, seriously affecting sleep, etc., parents can first suspect whether there are adenoidal hypertrophy factors. Parents should first take their child to the department of otolaryngology for medical examination, and the doctor will determine the child's nasal condition. It is understood that in general, more than two-thirds of the adenoidal hypertrophy will affect the child's nasal breathing, and it is more recommended to treat it surgically, if the surgical conditions are not enough, nasal sprays and other drugs can be used for treatment.
"The child's nose is not ventilated, so it is necessary to breathe with the mouth, do not give the child oral breathing correction patch."
Wu Xu said that not all children who have oral breathing is caused by adenoid hypertrophy, do not diagnose themselves, blindly correct. Adults should focus on solving the problem of facial appearance caused by oral breathing on the primary disease network. Some netizens left a message in the discussion area of "oral breathing affects the appearance value" and asked "how should adults be treated?" ”
Reporters can search for relevant videos such as "improving mouth breathing leads to convex mouth" and "improving jaw contraction" on multiple social platform software. Popular videos with high likes all get a lot of attention compared to the image with a clear face.
Oral breathing, which is widely circulated on the Internet, affects the appearance value
Doctors say that most adults breathe through the mouth are not associated with adenoidal hypertrophy. Excessive narrowing of the pharyngeal cavity, long-term allergic rhinitis, etc. can lead to the appearance of oral breathing. "The adenoids degenerate with age, and of course there will be cases where the adult adenoids are not completely degenerated, blocking the nostrils and causing poor breathing." It is recommended that adults with severe oral respiratory conditions should first treat the primary disease, and at the same time, adults should consciously avoid oral breathing. In addition, fatter citizens are also prone to oral breathing symptoms, and it is recommended to strengthen exercise and lose weight.
For oral breathing leading to facial problems, the doctor said, do not be anxious. "Adults are basically fully developed, and if they are not satisfied with their faces, they can go to the dentistry department." The method on the Internet and the oral breathing correction patches and orthoses sold on the Internet should not be gullible, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment to identify the primary disease first.
