What happens when children spit?

It is very common for children to spit in daily life. It is usually because the child is teething or secretes more saliva when sleeping. It may also be caused by the baby's oral disease. If the drooling is severe, it is best to take the child to the hospital for a detailed examination to see if it is caused by a disease. If it is caused by a disease, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

What happens when a child spits?

First: In life, sometimes we see some children drooling when they just grow teeth, and some will slowly get better after the teeth grow out. This is actually because the baby is growing up slowly, the salivary glands will begin to secrete more vigorously, and its swallowing function is not very coordinated, so drooling occurs.

Second: In life, sometimes some pregnant women will feel that they spit a lot. This may be due to pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, which may be related to nausea. This is very normal and there is no need to worry too much. You can eat some steamed buns or soda biscuits to relieve the symptoms.

Third: Spitting frequently may be caused by the lack of trace elements and vitamins. You can pay attention to it in your daily diet. Drink more water and eat more vegetables. Don't eat MSG or chicken essence, etc. This may increase the excretion of zinc. Zinc deficiency can also cause spitting.

Precautions

In daily life, if you spit frequently, you should find out the cause in time and take treatment and preventive measures, because spitting frequently will also have a bad impact on the environment. Drink more water and eat more vegetables.

What to do if your baby spits up

1. Add complementary food in time to improve chewing ability

When adding complementary foods (4 to 6 months) and starting to eat rice noodles, parents should consciously strengthen their children's ability to suck, suck, swallow and gulp. After the child's teeth grow, try to feed him less semi-liquid food or very soft food, and choose slightly harder food to improve his chewing ability.

2. Wipe in time

For babies who drool frequently, you should wipe the saliva from their mouths at any time. Do not wipe hard, just wipe the saliva gently to avoid damaging the local skin. Wash away saliva with warm water frequently, and then apply oil to protect the skin of the chin and neck.

How to correct baby spitting up

1. Teach your baby to be responsible for his or her own behavior

When a child spits, parents should not scold or beat the child, as this will only reinforce the behavior. You can apologize to the child who was spat on, set an example for your child, and cultivate a good habit in your child so that he will not do this again.

2. Stay away from people with similar bad habits

Stay away from children who have the bad habit of spitting. If they are out of such an environment, children will no longer imitate them. Of course, in addition to the bad habits of other children around them being passed on to children, the adults in the family must also set a good example. For example, people who smoke may have the habit of spitting, which makes it easy for children to imitate.
