Adenoids & Allergies: Where Myo and ENT Intersect

Welcome to The Myo Moment!

Navigating a child's mouth breathing and sleep issues can be complex, join us this week with Dr. David McIntosh to break it down! In this episode, Australian ENT Dr. McIntosh, highlights a case where a 2-year-old's initial adenoid removal provided temporary relief, but symptoms returned due to newly developed dust mite allergies. Even after anatomical issues are addressed, functional problems can persist, requiring myofunctional therapy to retrain breathing patterns.

The key takeaways?

Allergies can develop later,
Quick fixes aren't always the answer,
And a collaborative, adaptable approach is crucial.

Myofunctional therapy is most effective when foundational issues like allergies and airway obstructions are addressed first.

For more in-depth advice, check out Dr. David McIntosh on Facebook and Dr.McIntosh, ENT on Instagram, his book "Sleep Disordered Breathing, A Parent's Guide" on Amazon, and his upcoming speaking events.
