Question
What’s Causing the Bubble of Saliva in a Baby’s Mouth?
Answer
Spitting out saliva bubbles from a baby’s mouth may be due to teething, as saliva production increases before the teeth emerge, leading to the baby dribbling saliva and forming bubbles. This might cause some discomfort for the baby, but it is typically a normal physiological phenomenon. However, if the baby exhibits other symptoms such as loss of appetite, fever, swollen or painful gums, or other signs, further evaluation and treatment may be necessary. In such cases, it is recommended that parents take their baby to see a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and proper handling.
