Blocked Nose and Mouth Breathing

Blocked Nose & Breathing through the month are relatively common symptom. Often, the cause may be obvious such as the common cold or flu.

However if this happens regularly or remains persistent beyond two weeks, an ENT evaluation may be necessary.

Long-term mouth breathing in a child can lead to delayed mid face development which is permanent.

Possible Causes

• Allergy
• Sinusitis
• Swollen Turbinates
• Enlarged Adenoids or Tonsils

To get an accurate assessment of your blocked nose or month breathing, you can consult the Singapore ENT Specialist Dr. YT Pang at the Centre for Ear Nose Throat Allergy & Snoring (CENTAS).
