Can frequent mouth breathing cause health issues, and how can it be addressed?

Hello doctor,

I am a 30-year-old woman who has started worrying about my frequent habit of breathing through my mouth instead of my nose. I have learned chronic mouth breathing can negatively impact oral health, so I seek insights and guidance. What potential health issues may arise from consistent mouth breathing? Are there conditions that can worsen this habit? How does nasal breathing benefit overall health compared to mouth breathing? Additionally, are there exercises to promote nasal breathing and minimize the tendency to breathe through the mouth? Please help.

Thank you.

What is the treatment for indigestion and irritation in the anal region?

Hi doctor,

I am a 39-year-old male. I have difficulty in my digestion. Whatever I eat does not get digested properly, and I think the body does not properly absorb it, so whatever I eat is passed through the stools, and I have severe irritation in my anal region. What can be the issue, doctor? I have this problem for the last two years. My body is weakening, and my vitamin D level is also lower than usual. How can I treat this condition?

Kindly help.
