What is the reason why the baby always drools?

Patient's question:

Saliva started after weaning from breastfeeding, and it hasn't stopped since then, intermittent but continuous. I don't know what's going on. Some doctors say it's due to a poor stomach and spleen compatibility, but hospital tests only showed a slight anemia. There has been no prior treatment or effect. What kind of help do I need? I still don't know what's really wrong.

Doctor's answer:

As children grow older, their saliva production increases, which may lead to drooling. Additionally, since children's mouths are shallower, they may not be able to swallow saliva promptly, and the stimulation of teething can also cause an increase in saliva. It is recommended to teach children to consciously make swallowing movements, which can help reduce drooling. Additionally, check if the child has mouth ulcers or nasal congestion that may be causing drooling.
