Pediatric Rhinitis

Q. My child snores loudly and breathes through the mouth — is this rhinitis?

A.

Yes, it is highly likely to be chronic rhinitis or enlarged adenoids requiring treatment.

📝 Detailed Answer

Snoring and mouth breathing in children commonly result from: ① chronic rhinitis (most common), ② enlarged adenoids/tonsils, ③ sinusitis, ④ deviated septum. Risks: dental misalignment, facial structure changes, sleep quality decline, growth disorders, poor concentration. Korean medicine first treats rhinitis, recommending ENT collaboration if adenoid surgery is needed. Sleep posture and humidity adjustment are also important.
