Paediatric ENT articles — sleep apnea in children, mouth breathing, adenoids, tonsils and nasal allergy in kids by Dr Pranshu Mehta, Delhi.
Does loud snoring mean sleep apnea? Could my child stop breathing? Will they need surgery? Dr Pranshu Mehta, DLO ENT Surgeon Delhi, answers the 8 most common questions parents ask about paediatric obstructive sleep apnea.
The most common questions parents ask about mouth breathing in children — answered simply. Does it affect school performance? Could it be mistaken for ADHD? Will my child outgrow it? Dr Pranshu Mehta, DLO ENT Surgeon Delhi, answers the 7 questions parents ask most.
Nasal obstruction in children is the single upstream cause behind crowded teeth, recurrent ear infections, sleep problems, ADHD-like behaviour, poor school performance and growth impairment. Dr Pranshu Mehta explains the full downstream chain — and why treating the nose treats everything.
Adenoid face — the long narrow face, recessed chin and open mouth of chronic mouth-breathing children — can be significantly reversed if caught early. Dr Pranshu Mehta explains what is reversible, what is not, and why the timing of intervention determines everything.
Teeth grinding at night in children is often a sign of sleep-disordered breathing, not just stress. Dr Pranshu Mehta explains the bruxism-airway connection and why the ENT must be involved before the dentist fits a night guard.
Dental crowding and narrow arches in children are often not genetic — they are the direct consequence of chronic mouth breathing from nasal obstruction. Dr Pranshu Mehta explains the mechanism and why airway must be assessed before orthodontic treatment.

Why treating crowded teeth without addressing the breathing cause leads to relapse. Dr Pranshu Mehta (DLO ENT) explains the ENT-orthodontics connection in mouth breathing children, the correct treatment sequence, and why airway comes before braces.
Chronic mouth breathing in children is not a harmless habit. Dr Pranshu Mehta, DLO ENT Surgeon in Delhi, explains what it does to a child’s face, teeth, jaw, brain, behaviour and sleep — and when parents should seek evaluation.
Your child’s constant sneezing, blocked nose and poor sleep may be allergic rhinitis — the most common chronic childhood condition in India. Dr Pranshu Mehta explains symptoms, the school performance impact, the ear connection and safe treatment.
