Question

Why does my child always sleep with their mouth open?

Answer

Hello, there are several reasons why a child might sleep with their mouth open:

  1. Age factor: Babies during the infant period are more prone to sleeping with their mouths open, as their bodies are still developing and their various functions are not yet fully matured.
  2. Respiratory system issues: There are many causes for respiratory system problems in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory issue, parents should cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastroesophageal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits.
  3. Poor habits: Parents should be aware not to let their children develop picky eating habits and should have a balanced diet.
