How to care for children with excessive drooling

Many people have drooling. People who often drool should pay attention. This situation is often caused by the oral cavity. Therefore, oral care is necessary to improve the saliva problem, which is very helpful. So what are the care methods for children with excessive drooling? When children have this situation, there are some reasons. There are some good ways to improve it. The following is a detailed introduction.

How to care for children with excessive drooling:

The first tip: When the baby drools a lot, the mother should pay attention to taking care of the skin around the baby's mouth and wash it with clean water at least twice a day. Keep your baby's face and neck dry to avoid eczema.

The second trick: use a bib for your baby. Bibs are a special piece of clothing for babies and a good helper for mothers in parenting. Not only can they protect outer clothes from getting dirty, but they are also a kind of decoration. White bibs can also help children develop good habits of cleanliness and hygiene from an early age. In addition, the bib should always be kept clean and dry so that the baby will feel comfortable and happy to use it.

The third trick: Saliva contains some miscellaneous bacteria and amylase and other substances in the mouth, which have a certain irritating effect on the skin. If you don't take good care of it, the skin around the mouth will turn red and small red papules will appear. At this time, you need to apply some baby skin care cream.

Tip 4: Do not wipe your baby’s mouth with a rough handkerchief or towel as this may easily damage the skin. Use a very soft handkerchief or napkin to wipe away the saliva outside your mouth little by little to keep the area around it dry.

Tip 5: To prevent saliva from wetting the clothes in front of the neck and upper chest, you can put a small cotton bib on your baby. Soft, slightly thick and highly absorbent fabrics are the first choice for bibs.

Tip 6: When the baby's gums are itchy and swollen and the baby's saliva increases during the eruption of deciduous teeth. You can use chewing gums of appropriate hardness and softness for the baby. Babies over 6 months old can chew on some teething biscuits. This can reduce the discomfort of the gums during teething, stimulate the deciduous teeth to erupt as soon as possible, and reduce drooling.

Tip 7: If your skin has already developed rashes or erosions, it is best to go to the hospital for treatment. During skin inflammation, the skin should be kept clean and fresh, and treatment should be sought according to symptoms. If antibiotics or antipruritic ointments need to be applied locally, it is best to do so before the baby goes to bed or while the baby is sleeping to prevent the baby from accidentally ingesting them and affecting their health.

After understanding the care methods for children with excessive drooling, parents can follow the above methods when caring for their children. However, it should be noted that if the child's excessive drooling still does not improve, they should go to the hospital for examination, so that they can have some understanding of the child's specific situation and avoid worsening of the problem.
