Suggest Remedies For Open-mouth Breathing
Question: What can be done when i lay down to rest, something in my mouth or sinus must closes an can't breath through nose. Then i must get up or open my mouth to breath again
Brief Answer:
congestion/allergies
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your question.
It sounds like you are having some upper airway obstruction. This is often from congestion caused by allergies or a virus. Try using an antihistamine like loratadine and some nasal saline. If this does not clear it up you would need to see your doctor for prescription medications. A humidifier or some "breathe right" strips may also be helpful to you. It is important to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding caffeine and alcohol. Take a multivitamin daily. I hope you are feeling better very soon.
