Many first-time parents lack parenting experience and become very worried when they see their baby having some abnormal situations. For example, some parents who see their baby over a year old always drool, causing the skin around the mouth to turn red. When parents see this, they are naturally very worried. What should I do if my baby drools even after being over a year old?
Baby drooling is mostly related to long teeth. If it is caused by long teeth, mothers don't need to worry too much. Generally, it will improve after a period of time. When babies start adding complementary foods, their salivary glands are constantly stimulated by food and secrete saliva. However, as babies are relatively young and their swallowing function is not yet coordinated, they may not be able to swallow saliva in a timely manner, which can lead to continuous salivation.
Baby drooling is often a normal symptom, but it cannot be ignored that oral ulcers can cause drooling, so mothers should pay attention. A one year old baby always drools and cries uncontrollably, wanting to eat but not daring to eat. In addition to oral ulcers, it may also be caused by throat inflammation. At this time, the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination and medication should be taken reasonably.
Babies with oral ulcers are caused by a lack of vitamins. At this time, mothers should pay attention to supplementing their babies with vitamins, as well as other calcium and iron elements. If the baby's drooling is caused by throat inflammation, then they should be given some anti-inflammatory medication to quickly relieve the drooling.
