Patient's question:
My baby has been sticking out his tongue and drooling a lot recently, and his tongue is moving around in his mouth. What's wrong?Past treatment history and effectiveness: None
What kind of help do you want: To understand what's wrong
Doctor's answer:
This is a good sign, indicating that your baby is teething. When babies are teething, their gums can become itchy, which may cause them to stick out their tongues and drool, as well as chew on their tongues. During teething, you can give your baby many biscuits, dry slices of bread, or similar foods to bite, which is commonly referred to as "teething," to help promote tooth eruption.During the teething period, it's important to pay attention to your baby's nutrition. Teething requires calcium and phosphorus, which are essential for bone growth and development. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that calcium is continuously digested in their diet. When supplementing with calcium, be sure to add vitamin D, as only with vitamin D can calcium be properly metabolized and utilized.
I hope this helps you.
