How To Stop Breathing Through Your Mouth Right Now
- Details
Stop. Are you mouth breathing right now? Are your lips apart or are they closed? If they are closed, you are breathing through your nose. If your lips are apart, you may be inhaling air through your mouth and don’t even realize it.
It is important that you breathe through your nose so that the air you inhale is clean and warm. If you mouth-breathe, you are inhaling dirty, cold air. Learn more here.
Is mouth breathing associated with snoring? The next time your bed partner awakens you with a loud snore, look and see if his/her mouth is open or closed. You will probably find that the mouth is open and the air is being inhaled and exhaled through the mouth, causing a loud noise.

Why Am I Coughing?
- Details
17-year-old Betty was referred for speech therapy by her otolaryngologist because she had a hoarse voice and was coughing whenever she ate. Inspection of the vocal cords by her doctor revealed that everything looked normal.
When I met Betty, her voice sounded normal. It was not hoarse. I asked her to describe to me her major complaint about anything from the neck up. She quickly answered, saying that when she raises her tongue up and when she swallows, there is a sharp pain at the back of her tongue. This was an unusual symptom of something, but I didn’t know what. Time to discover what it was!
