Question
My baby has been sticking out their tongue and drooling for the past few days, and their tongue is moving around in their mouth. What’s going on? What was the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of help do you seek?
Answer
This could indicate that your baby is about to start teething. When a baby is teething, the gums feel itchy, which leads to the baby liking to stick out their tongue and drool, as well as moving their tongue around in their mouth. During this period, you can give your baby some hard foods like crackers or dry bread slices for them to chew, which helps alleviate gum discomfort. At the same time, pay attention to your baby’s nutrition to ensure they are getting enough calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for teething. Additionally, make sure your baby is getting enough vitamin D, as it aids in calcium absorption. I hope this helps.
