What is the reason that the baby does not have uvula

summary

The normal uvula does not touch the surface of the tongue. If it contacts the surface of the tongue and has symptoms, it is called uvulosis. Uvulosis is due to chronic inflammatory stimulation of sinuses, nasopharynx, oropharynx and tonsil, which leads to uvula inflammation, muscle tissue degeneration, mucosal edema and downward extension, resulting in uvula thinning and growth. A small part is due to congenital dysplasia. What is the reason that the baby does not have uvula

What is the reason that the baby does not have uvula

Reason 1: Generally speaking, tongue coating will not affect the baby's health and appetite. Usually, after the baby is three months old, the tongue coating situation will gradually improve, so parents need not worry too much.

Reason 2: if the digestive function of the baby is not good, even adults, tongue coating will be thicker, and will always exist. The main thing is to clean the baby's mouth. 1 drink warm water gargle clean, as long as the baby every time after drinking milk, give him some warm water gargle, will not grow tongue coating. Drinking water can not only clean the baby's mouth, but also dilute the lactic acid in the mouth, reducing the growth of bacteria. 2. Take a piece of gauze for disinfection and sterilization for about 4 days × Cover the mother's index finger with 4-gauge gauze, moisten the gauze with some warm water, then put it into the baby's mouth, and gently wipe the milk residue and food residue on the inside of the baby's mouth and tongue. But remember not to wipe too close to the base of the tongue, otherwise it will easily cause vomiting.

The third reason: considering the possibility of slight cleft palate, it will not have a great impact on children. It may have an impact on the composition of voice, but it is estimated that the impact is small. As for whether surgical treatment is needed, we should ask pediatric surgeons to see and decide. If surgical treatment is needed, 18 months old is recognized as the age of operation

matters needing attention

Generally not. It's just undeveloped. It is suggested that no other treatment is needed for the time being. We should pay attention to regular diet and rest on time.
