Question: Hi. My son went to bed wearing two surgical masks. Although he seems fine, I am still a little concern. Will this obstruct his breathing and cause any brain damage, etc? Thank you!

Brief Answer:
There should be no problems.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query and here is my advice.

You should not be worried about any problems with surgical masks because these are designed to allow normal breathing.

Furthermore, these are designed to allow the air flow from the sides too, if there necessary.

So, in conclusion, there should be no problems with wearing two surgical masks during the sleep.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
