Question

How to Treat Drooling in Children?

Answer

Drooling in children can be either physiological or pathological. Physiological drooling usually does not require treatment and tends to improve as the child grows. Pathological drooling may be associated with conditions such as tonsillitis, indigestion, and may necessitate medical diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, parents can train their child’s swallowing movements and maintain oral hygiene to reduce drooling.
