Question

Can Vitamin B1 Treat Baby Drooling?

Answer

Baby drooling can be seen in various oral thrushes, glossitis, pharyngitis, and tonsillitis. These conditions can stimulate saliva glands and lead to drooling. Once the disease is healed, the drooling usually stops. Persistent drooling is often seen in central nervous system disorders, such as congenital brain maldevelopment, encephalitis, or post-infectious encephalopathy. This is due to brain abnormalities that impair the regulation of swallowing saliva. It is recommended to consult a pediatrician for a diagnosis and treatment.
