If the child needs to have his/her mouth open just to breath, he/she is probably not swallowing enough. It takes a lot of energy to breath through your mouth, as we all know when we have bad cold. Definately get a doctor's clearance to try to increase mouth closure, or oral motor exercises. In the meantime, have mom or dad buy those wrist sweat bands for the child to use to wipe his mouth as needed.
