It is inevitable for babies to drool, but when they are around 2 years old and still drool, parents may also worry. Because during this period, most babies no longer frequently experience drooling. If drooling continues to occur frequently during this period, it may also be due to health issues. So, how to treat drooling in a two-year-old baby?
Drooling is a normal physiological phenomenon in infants. But some babies may drool, which could be due to pathological reasons. Physiological drooling is caused by the stimulation of gums, gums, and other areas during the teething period, leading to increased saliva secretion. Additionally, children with shallow oral cavities are more likely to have excessive saliva flow out of their mouth, resulting in a drooling appearance. Most babies experience a gradual disappearance of drooling after the age of one and a half.
Some babies may still drool at the age of two, which should be considered as a possible pathological cause. It is mainly due to inflammation in the mouth. For example, pharyngitis, thrush, and other oral inflammations in children often cause drooling in babies. Therefore, when there is a lot of drooling during this period, it is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for examination and anti-inflammatory treatment according to the cause.
And it is also necessary to take good care of oral hygiene during this period, especially for two-year-old babies. Gradually teach babies to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths, which can timely clean up food residues in the mouth, prevent these substances from breeding bacteria in the mouth, and reduce the occurrence of drooling.
