The doctor said that it's normal for children to drool, how should it be treated? What should they eat?

Patient's question:

When it wasn't flowing, but after those two months, it's flowing very heavily now.
Treatment history and effectiveness: I went to the hospital once, and the doctor said that it's normal for a child to drool at this age.
What kind of help do you want: Please ask how to treat a baby of this age who drools, what to eat that works.

Doctor's answer:

Babies drooling is mostly a normal physiological phenomenon. At 6 to 7 months, babies have started teething and also began eating solid foods. Food often stimulates nerves, salivary glands, and other areas, leading to an increase in saliva production. Additionally, babies have small oral cavities and cannot swallow promptly or adjust effectively, so when saliva accumulates, it becomes easier for them to drool. As babies grow and their oral functions improve, this drooling phenomenon will naturally subside, so treatment is generally not required.
