A member asked:

What can i do to stop mouth breathing during sleep?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See your doctor: You may want to be evaluated by an ent, dentist or oral surgeon to determine why you are a mouth breather. Do you have any nasal obstruction? Is your tongue really enlarged? Do you have sleep apnea?
