Question
A young child started to salivate excessively after weaning from breast milk and the condition persists. I’ve heard some doctors mention that it might be due to a disharmony in the spleen and stomach, and the hospital examination found mild anemia. What has been the past treatment and its effectiveness? What kind of help am I hoping to receive?
Answer
As children grow older, their saliva production increases, which may lead to excessive salivation. Additionally, since children have a shallow mouth, they cannot swallow saliva in time, and the stimulation from teething can also cause an increase in saliva production. It is recommended to teach children to consciously perform swallowing actions to reduce the flow of saliva. Furthermore, it is also important to check if the child has mouth ulcers or excessive salivation due to nasal congestion.
