Because most children are relatively young and their physical functions are not fully mature, it is easy to drool.
But in everyday life, some adults may also experience drooling.
If it is only once in a while, then there is no need to worry about it, it may be caused by overwork, but if you drool frequently for a period of time, and it will also be accompanied by the appearance of odors, then you should be particularly vigilant, which may be related to the following five problems.
First, the sleeping position is incorrect
Different people, the specific sleeping position is different, such as lying on the stomach, sleeping on the side and sleeping flat, etc., of which the more likely to cause drooling is to sleep on the stomach.
It is understood that when people sleep on their stomachs, breathing will be affected to a certain extent, so that they have to breathe with their mouths, so it is likely that there will be a situation of sleeping with their mouths open.
Over time, the facial muscles will become more and more relaxed, and when it is not controlled, there will be a problem of drooling. In this regard, everyone should adjust the sleeping position in time to ensure the health of sleep.
Second, excessive use of the brain
If people overuse their brains or take a drug by mistake in their usual time, it is likely to induce insanity.
In this way, when sleeping at night, the brain will send out the wrong signal, resulting in an increase in saliva secretion, which can cause drooling.
Therefore, everyone should pay attention to rest in life, try not to stay up late, and avoid excessive use of the brain.
3. Tooth deformity
If there is a deformity in the tooth area, it is easy to cause food debris to accumulate inside the tooth gap, coupled with the usual lack of brushing;
Then it is very likely that it will breed bacteria, cause periodontal disease, caries and other oral diseases, and then stimulate the secretion of saliva, and eventually lead to the problem of drooling in sleep. In this regard, everyone should go to the hospital in time to repair the teeth.
4. Facial nerve damage
Many times, if people are accidentally affected by the cold, resulting in damage to facial nerves, then there may also be drooling.
Not only that, some people will also have abnormal problems such as facial stiffness and crooked nose and eyes, especially for some elderly people, as the body function declines, the control ability of the limbs will be weakened, resulting in the phenomenon of drooling becoming more frequent.
In this regard, everyone should pay special attention to going to the hospital in time to receive examination to avoid worsening the condition.
5. Damage to the spleen and stomach
When people have gastrointestinal problems, there may also be drooling, mainly because after gastrointestinal damage, it will constantly stimulate the formation of stomach acid, affecting the activity of the mouth, and then secreting a large amount of saliva.
It is understood that this problem can be properly controlled by the action of swallowing, but once it enters sleep, the mouth will become uncontrolled, which will trigger the phenomenon of drooling.
The above are the five main causes of drooling, and everyone should pay special attention to them in their daily lives.
If you want to avoid this problem as much as possible, then you must develop good living habits, go to bed early and get up early, do not stay up late, and try to keep the inside of the mouth clean. If there is a bad sleeping position, then it is necessary to adjust it in time.
At the same time, in terms of diet, everyone should try to eat less high-fat, high-calorie foods at night, and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, such as cabbage, spinach and apples, to improve the body's immunity.
