Question

Is it normal for a baby to salivate after having a high fever?

Answer

Salivating after a baby has a fever may be a normal phenomenon, but it could also be a symptom of certain diseases, such as tonsillitis or herpetic gingivostomatitis. If the baby exhibits other discomforts besides fever and salivation, such as oral pain or refusal to eat, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
