Tongue Tie/Mouth Breathing

Question

I am 21 years old. I am having mouth breathing since I've grown up. I can't keep my mouth closed normally. Along with it, I am suffering from chronic tonsilitis. I had told my Ent Dr about mouth breathing, he told me it's due to tonsillitis. By searching about tongue tie, I realized I am having tongue tie which may be the main cause of my symptoms including headaches, sinusitis, breathing problems during sleep and TMJ pain. Can you guide me to whom should I concern for its evaluation?

there can be a number of reasons, In your case it is because of chronic tonsillitis which is causing narrowing of airway which is making you to keep mouth open while sleeping.
for tonsillitis u shd consult a ENT surgeon and for tongue tie u can consult oral surgeon for it's treatment.
in the mean time start taking steam twice a day, avoid food that may aggrivate tonsillitis,take 1 anti allergy daily for 5 days at night and Do salt water gargles.
insha ALLAH u will see a lot of improvement
