Question
Is baby drooling a sign of spleen deficiency?
Answer
Baby drooling is a normal occurrence. When babies start introducing solid foods, their salivary glands are stimulated by these foods, leading to an increase in saliva production. Additionally, since babies’ mouths are small and they haven’t developed swallowing movements to regulate saliva, it comes out. Therefore, it’s important to frequently wipe away any saliva that accidentally escapes to keep the baby’s face and neck dry and prevent eczema from occurring.
