Question
Why do I keep drooling recently? It’s quite severe, and I often have an upset stomach, along with tonsillitis. It’s been about a month. How was the previous treatment?
Answer
Drooling in children can be a sign of teething or an upset stomach. Teething-induced drooling is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment; it will naturally stop once the teeth emerge. If it’s due to an upset stomach, you can give your child more water to drink or prepare some chrysanthemum tea. Also, make sure not to dress your child too warmly to avoid overheating and exacerbating the upset stomach. If the drooling is severe, it may be necessary to seek medical examination to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. When caring for a child with drooling, parents should keep the child’s chin clean to prevent chin ulcers.
