Why does baby love drooling

One of the reasons: if the baby's lips, corners of the mouth or blisters appear around the mouth, it may be oral ulcer or stomatitis, which will make the baby do not want to swallow because of fear of pain. At this time, the baby has serious drooling, accompanied by unexplained crying, so that the child can see the corresponding symptoms by opening his mouth.

The second reason: persistent drooling is common in central nervous system diseases, such as congenital brain hypoplasia, encephalitis or meningitis sequelae, which is due to brain lesions, so that the function of regulating swallowing saliva is impaired. You can go to Pediatrics for examination, and confirm that the cause is in treatment.

The third reason: Baby drooling is a normal phenomenon. However, because saliva is acidic, which contains digestive enzymes and other substances, due to the protection of mucous membrane in the mouth, it will not invade the deep layer. But when the saliva flows to the skin, it is easy to corrode the outer cuticle of the skin, leading to skin inflammation, eczema and other skin diseases in children.
