Question
My child has a webbed thumb and often sticks out their tongue. I want to know if it could be Down syndrome?
Answer
Babies do not learn as they grow older. As for drooling, it usually stops after one year. Don’t worry. Saliva and tongue adhesion may be related to pediatric gastritis, vitamin deficiency, indigestion, or teething issues. Pay attention to the baby’s bowel movements and stool, how they digest, and adjust the dietary structure accordingly. Pay attention to calcium and vitamins. It is still recommended to observe your child’s changes more closely, and if necessary, take them to the hospital for treatment.
