Patient's question:
Three months ago, this phenomenon did not exist. It started appearing three and a half months ago. Except when sleeping and eating, the tongue is always sticking out of the mouth and moving upwards. What could be the reason for this, and how should it be handled?Doctor's answer:
Hello, sticking out the tongue is generally a normal phenomenon in babies. Around two months of age, babies' salivary glands begin to secrete saliva. At this time, if the baby licks with their tongue, it may appear as if they are sticking out their tongue. If the baby also has symptoms such as constipation, poor appetite, or lack of activity, it is recommended to visit a pediatrician.Newborn diseases can harm children, so parents must take their child to a doctor immediately for treatment and avoid using small advertisements for medicine blindly. It is important to use medicine reasonably. For parents, it is necessary to observe changes in their child's symptoms and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
