Mouth breathing: especially in childhood is usually due to enlarged ADENOIDS. I would question this possibility!! . It sounds like your nasal septumhas nothing to do with it! Hope this is helpful! Dr Z

My brother (26), suffering from constant facial pain for over a year now. He went to many doctors, but no progress. He's been checked for deviated Nasal Septum, teeth, trigeminal neuralgia; all turned out negative. Pain killers don't help?
