Patient's question:
Is the baby drooling due to spleen deficiency?Doctor's answer:
Babbling is a normal phenomenon because when babies start eating solid foods, their salivary glands are stimulated by these foods, leading to a significant increase in saliva production. Additionally, babies have small mouths and lack the swallowing movements to regulate saliva, so it tends to flow out. Therefore, it is important to frequently wipe away any accidentally spilled saliva to keep the baby's face and neck dry, preventing the occurrence of eczema.
