In addition, children's sleep and breathing can cause a series of complications in addition to affecting their appearance.

The reporter's purchase of the fork -shaped "mouth breathing correction sticker" found that the post did "seal" the mouth, just like the tape stuck to the mouth, could not open it, and could only breathe with the nose.

In addition to e -commerce platforms, many parents have shared their experiences for their children to use such products on some social platforms. Some parents said that after posting a "oral breathing correction sticker", the child no longer snoring. The reporter learned that in the hospital clinic, parents often asked, "Doctors, my children often open their mouths to breathe and snore. Can I buy the" sealing sticker 'online? " , Do you want a sticker? "...

The reporter consulted the doctor that there was a lot of hidden dangers to blindly use this correction sticker. Gong Longgang, director of the otroom throat and neck surgery at Xi'an Honghui Hospital, introduced that under normal circumstances, when the child sleeps, he breathe through the nose. The sound of breathing is light and uniform, and there are many reasons for opening your mouth to breathe, but most of them are due to tonsils and glands. Sample hypertrophy causes. When the flat gland hypertrophy causes the respiratory tract to narrow, the child will breathe with his mouth, and some children will snoring, and even causes breathing suspension in severe cases. If the parent posted a "sealing sticker" at this time, the only breathing channel of the child is blocked, which will only cause hypoxia and suffering, and cause serious consequences.

When children have symptoms such as opening their mouths to breathe snoring snoring and snoring, they must see the tonsils in time. What are the gonad -like? Gong Longgang introduced that the glandular sample is an orange -petal -like tissue located in the nasopharynx (nose and oral pharyngeal). Generally speaking, when the child is 3 years old, the gonad -sample begins to grow rapidly, and gradually shrinks around the age of 10. The cause of adenoid hypertrophy is acute and chronic nasopharyngeal inflammation, and inflammation repeatedly stimulate the glandular sample. When acute and chronic nasal and sinus inflammation, the secretions in the nasal cavity flow backwards and repeatedly stimulate the glandular sample. The recurrent episodes of upper respiratory tract infections caused by various viruses and bacteria, various acute infectious diseases, and acute and chronic tonsillitis can also cause adenoid hypertrophy.

Glandular hypertrophy often causes upper airway obstruction, and needs to open his mouth to breathe, which causes the position of the upper and lower jaw bones to change, and finally grows into a decent glands. "The decent appearance of the gland can be properly corrected in the dental department. The biggest harm is actually affecting the child's IQ and height." Gong Longgang said that at night, the child's brain development is the most vigorous. Snoring can cause hypoxia in the brain, affect the secretion of growth hormones, affect the growth of the child, and affect the child's spiritual and intellectual development, leading to changing mood, poor memory, and inattention.

The glandular samples generally shrink after the age of 10. Therefore, if the child's gland sample is hypertrophy, but there is no symptoms such as stuffy, snoring, and opening your mouth breathing, you can not treat it first. However, Gong Longgang reminded that parents must not simply use "sealing stickers" to solve the problem. If children have related symptoms such as opening their mouth breathing, snoring, irritability, and poor sleep, they must take their children to the hospital's otolaryngology department for examination Essence The hypertrophic gland samples occupy one -half of the nasal posterior nose, or even more than two -thirds. It is recommended to surgery as soon as possible to remove the hypertrophy gonad -like body to improve the pharynx cavity and expand ventilation. "Many parents are worried about surgery. In fact, it is only good to remove the hypertrophic gland samples. There is no disadvantage, and there is no need to worry about it." Gong Longgang said that the hospital's glandular samples are all minimally invasive surgery. The surgery is very good. After completing it, the child can move freely on the same day. It only needs to be discharged in the hospital for 2-3 days after surgery.
