Patient's question:
My son is four months old. He always sticks out his tongue and spits out bubbles of saliva. What's going on? Also, his throat always makes a rustling sound, and it goes away after a cough. A while later, it starts rustling again. Could you please advise what this could be?Doctor's answer:
It's okay, it's possible that the baby is playing by themselves. The baby might also be bored and needs to play games to entertain themselves, such as sucking their hands, toys, sticking out their tongue, blowing bubbles, and later, sucking their own little toes. This is all normal. Don't worry too much. If the baby also has a lot of saliva and loves biting things, it might be teething. In this case, there's a possibility of ADHD. It's best to have a thorough check-up and get a definitive diagnosis before starting treatment.
