What causes a child to always sleep with their mouth open?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
A child constantly sleeping with an open mouth may be due to nasal obstruction. Check whether there is nasal discharge, which could indicate a cold or allergies. In addition, poor sleeping posture can also lead to mouth breathing during sleep; it is recommended to adopt an appropriate position, such as side-lying. If the above measures are ineffective, consider possible issues in the oral cavity or throat, and timely medical evaluation is advised.
