Hello
Welcome to HealthcareMagic
As per Your history your child seems to be having oronasal problem. This may be due to congenital defects (by birth) or may be due developemental problems related to pharynx ( oral cavity, throat), some lymphoid tissue problems( tonsils, adenoids)etc. Please have checkup done by the paediatrician and by ENT surgeon for evaluation of the defects. Early medical and surgical intervention will clear the problem otherwise there may be defects in speech, teething problems etc
