These conditions are normal,
Don't worry too much
Children's love of drooling is related to excessive saliva production, insufficient swallowing, and half-open mouth without saliva. Drooling in children under the age of 2 is usually "physiological salivation". Common causes include:
1. Teething
Drooling is a common sign of teething, and generally babies drooling occur when the deciduous teeth are germinated. Deciduous tooth germination can cause mechanical stimulation to the sensory nerves of the gums, causing the salivary glands to secrete more saliva.
2. Poor swallowing ability
Around 4 months, the baby's salivary glands gradually mature, and the amount of saliva secretion increases significantly. But at this time, the baby's oral capacity is still shallow, the ability to swallow is poor, so he will often drool.
3. Food irritation
Food can stimulate drooling, especially sour foods, and the principle of Wangmei quenching thirst is also based on this. When a child sees or smells a favorite food, the child may drool.
4. Forgot to swallow
Children especially drool when they gaze intently at or play with objects in their hands, because they reach the "state of self-forgetfulness" and forget to swallow saliva.
5. Keep your mouth open often
Children often have their mouths half open, and the saliva that can't be held back at this time is dripping down.
There are also many babies who like to put their fingers, rubber nipples, etc. into their mouths to suck, which also stimulates the secretion of salivary glands and increases saliva.
For physiological drooling, parents can care about it in the following ways:
02
Be wary of drooling caused by the disease
As the deciduous teeth erupt, the baby's alveoli gradually forms, the palate slowly increases, and the bottom of the mouth gradually deepens to accommodate more saliva.
In addition, the swallowing action is gradually trained and mature, and the amount of saliva in the mouth can be adjusted by swallowing, and the saliva can be swallowed in time, and the drooling will stop naturally.
That is to say, when the baby has passed the budding stage, about 2.5 to 3 years old, with the increase of oral volume and the enhancement of swallowing ability, the phenomenon of drooling will naturally disappear.
However, if the baby's teeth are aligned but still drooling, parents need to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
Usually the following situations can also cause children to drool, parents should be vigilant:
03
