What to do if your child drools too much

Many parents will find that their children have such a problem, that is, they drool a lot. Some parents even have to carry a small handkerchief with them every day to wipe the baby's saliva. You may even tie a bib under the baby's neck to prevent the baby's saliva from wetting his clothes and causing him to catch a cold. However, many parents do not know what causes their baby to drool excessively. Today I will introduce to you the specific causes of this phenomenon.

If a baby is over three months old and always drools and bites his hands, it is mostly due to teething. At this time, you don't need to be too nervous. Parents and children should help the child take care of the oral cavity and other parts. Especially when the child sucks his fingers, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of his hands to avoid putting his dirty hands into his mouth. You should also wipe the child's saliva in time.

It is normal for a three-month-old baby to drool a lot. This is mainly due to the incomplete development of the child's oral cavity. In addition, the child will start to grow teeth when he is three or four months old. This situation will cause symptoms such as excessive drooling and biting the hands. Parents must help their children with corresponding care. So, what should you do if your baby is always drooling and biting your hands for more than three months?

After two months, the baby reaches the oral stage, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. At this time, you must pay attention to the hygiene of the baby's mouth and hands. It is important to wash the baby's hands in time. After three months, the baby's salivary glands develop faster, and some babies have early teething, which will cause increased saliva and drooling. Some children will drool a lot during the day, and because the gums will itch when the children are teething, the children will bite their hands to relieve the itching. These are all normal.

When a child drools and bites his hands, you must provide him with good local care. To avoid rashes or ulcers on the neck or chin due to frequent drooling, you should choose some absorbent scarves for your child and wipe his saliva with a soft towel frequently. When a child bites his hands, you should buy him some teething sticks or teething biscuits to eat, which will help improve the symptoms of biting his hands and will not make him feel particularly uncomfortable due to teething. It is better to let your child drink more water to avoid symptoms such as getting angry. And when your child can add complementary foods, you can give him more nutritious food.

Don't worry too much if your baby over three months old drools and bites his hands. This situation is mostly caused by physiological phenomena. As long as parents help their children with local hygiene care, they should not put their dirty hands in their mouths to avoid increasing the risk of some diseases. Children should be taught to develop the good habit of washing hands frequently. If the child cannot wash his hands by himself, parents should help him pay attention to hygiene.
