0 1 My son's face looks like a gorilla. My mother teased him about his "long disability" and my friend reminded me that something was wrong.
When Ms. Lu's son Hanghang was born, she was praised as handsome by the nurse and inherited the high value of her parents. The adults present at that time teased: Which girl's youth will this boy be in the future? Sure enough, after Hanghang went to kindergarten, the children in the class liked to play with him because of his handsome appearance, and he became an out-and-out "class grass". It seems that the children are really "Yan Kong".
As the child grew up, Ms. Lu found that fewer and fewer flights were related to the original high value. Hanghang likes playing football and his skin is very tanned. In addition, his lips and upper teeth tend to protrude outward, which is more obvious than his childhood photos. He is nothing like his parents. His face looks more like a "gorilla".
Ms. Lu couldn't help teasing her sisters: "When I was a child, the beautiful baby was disabled. How handsome and cute my family was when I was a child! " Ms. Lu exaggerated her chest and pretended to be heartbroken. Ms. Lu's words caught the attention of a sister. She advised, "You'd better take the children to the hospital. Navigation may be sick ... "
After listening to her sister's words, Ms. Lu aroused vigilance and quickly took time to take her children to the hospital for examination. After seeing the flight, the doctor asked Ms. Lu, "Do children often breathe through their mouths?" "Yes, he has a little rhinitis and can't breathe well," Ms. Lu replied.
Later, the doctor told Ms. Lu that it was an "adenoid face" when sailing, which was caused by long-term breathing with the mouth, mainly manifested as enlarged parotid gland and everted lips. After listening to the doctor's words, Ms. Lu regretted it, but she was too negligent.
02 analysis
Many children have the habit of breathing through their mouths because of a cold or illness. Once or twice, nothing serious. If you breathe through your mouth for a long time, it will lead to parotid hypertrophy, maxillary protrusion, valgus lips and so on. Similar to the face of a gorilla, it greatly affects the face value and is difficult to change. For the sake of children, try not to let them breathe through their mouths often.
How to correct children's habit of breathing with their mouths?
1. Wear a special mask.
Some children have formed a habit, even if they promised their mothers not to breathe through their mouths when they sleep, they will unconsciously open their mouths when they fall asleep. Faced with this situation, you can put on a special small mask when the child is asleep, cover the child's mouth, leave the nose outside, and force the child to breathe through the nose.
Wear corrective appliances
If the child's face changes because of long-term breathing through his mouth, parents can let him put on braces to correct maxillary protrusion after the child changes his teeth. It's just that this process takes a long time and children need to suffer. Parents need to communicate with their children and get their consent.
Carry out breathing training
Many children are used to breathing with their mouths open after exercise to get a lot of oxygen. Parents can use this feature to train their children, encourage them to breathe through their noses, and constantly correct their habit of breathing through their mouths.
Receive professional treatment
Some children breathe through their mouths because of nasopharyngeal diseases. In the face of such a child, parents should take the baby to treat the disease first. Maybe after the disease disappears, the habit of children breathing through their mouths disappears.
