Question
A child of nearly three years old is experiencing an unusual increase in saliva secretion and is a premature infant. What might be the underlying causes of this phenomenon?
Answer
Excessive saliva secretion in young children can be caused by various factors, including allergic reactions, abnormal brain development, and dental problems. It is recommended to seek the opinion of a professional physician, consulting with both an oral surgeon and a pediatric neurologist. Parents should closely monitor the child’s condition changes and cooperate with the physician for necessary examinations and treatments. The physician will provide appropriate examinations and treatment plans based on the child’s specific situation.
