Question

The child always spits out saliva, and the saliva is yellow, as is the urine. Sometimes, the child keeps saliva in their mouth. What should be done?

Answer

If a child frequently spits out saliva, it may be due to oral ulcers or other oral diseases, which are very common and often accompanied by drooling. It could also be caused by bad habits. Some children, even though there are no lesions in their mouth, no pain, and no blisters, still tend to spit out saliva. This situation is caused by bad habits, and parents should promptly advise their children to change this bad habit. Spitting out saliva not only harms the child’s physical and mental health but also affects the surrounding environment, creating an uncivilized phenomenon. It is imperative to urge the child to correct this behavior.
