Mouth breathing in children can have several implications. Here are some potential impacts of mouth breathing: -Tonsillar Hypertrophy -Breathing Difficulties -Sleep Disruptions -Facial and Dental Changes -Speech and Language Development -Increased Risk of Infections Behavioral and Cognitive Impact -Dry Mouth and Bad Breath -Impact on Facial Appearance -Social and Emotional Effects It’s important to address both the underlying cause of enlarged tonsils and the habit of mouth breathing. Consultation with a healthcare professional, such as an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist, can help determine appropriate interventions, which may include medical treatment or surgical intervention if necessary. Additionally, we as speech therapists and other healthcare professionals may be involved in addressing the broader impacts on oral and respiratory health. . . . #mainlinespeechtherapy #mainlinemyofunctionaltherapy #mainlinefeedingtherapy #monicahoodspeechtherapist #monicahoodmyofunctionaltherapist
