Child Still Mouth Breathing After Adenoid Surgery? Here's What's Missing | Dr Tejas #adenoidsurgery

However, in some children, mouth breathing, poor tongue posture, and incorrect swallowing habits continue even after a successful surgery. In this video, Dr. Tejas Melkote explains why adenoid surgery removes the blockage but doesn't automatically change the breathing habits your child has developed over the years.
