When babies are young, it is easy to experience drooling, which usually subsides after one year of age. Some babies may stop drooling directly, while others may experience drooling at the age of two, which makes mothers very anxious. Now let's learn about what happens when a two-year-old baby suddenly drools?
What is the situation when a two-year-old baby suddenly drools
It is abnormal for a two-year-old baby to suddenly drool. At this time, if the child has oral ulcers, drooling may occur. However, if the baby does not have oral ulcers, it may be due to the child's spleen deficiency. In this case, the mother should take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment in a timely manner.
How to take care of a two-year-old baby with severe drooling
If a baby's saliva stays on the skin for a long time, it is easy to erode the skin, causing the surrounding skin to become dry, red, and even eczema. As a mother, you should always prepare a soft handkerchief or use baby specific wet wipes to wipe off the saliva in a timely manner and keep the skin around the mouth dry. After wiping the baby's saliva, parents should apply specialized skincare cream around the skin around the mouth to prevent dryness and help alleviate the discomfort caused by saliva on the skin.
It should be noted that drooling in babies is a normal phenomenon. If a two-year-old baby at home also experiences drooling, it is important to pay attention to taking care of the baby. The above nursing methods can be followed, and in daily life, the baby should drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and try not to be picky eaters. This has many benefits for the baby's physical health.
