Patient's question:
When sleeping, my mouth tends to drool, and I don't like eating. 11 years old, 145 cm, 65 kg. What should I do? As soon as I shout loudly or sing a song, my throat becomes hoarse immediately, and I can't speak, but it doesn't hurt.Doctor's answer:
Generally caused by the following factors:1. Poor oral hygiene: The temperature and humidity in the mouth are most suitable for bacterial growth. The accumulation of food debris or sugary substances in the gaps between teeth and on the tooth surface can easily lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. These adverse factors can stimulate salivation during sleep. Inflammation in the mouth can also promote saliva production. If the mouth is infected with bacteria, pain will be significant, and excessive salivation may occur. Local medication may be needed to promote ulcer healing, and the condition of excessive salivation will naturally resolve.
2. Malocclusion of the front teeth: This may be caused by genetic factors or acquired habits, such as biting nails, sticking out the tongue, or chewing pencil tips, which can result in malocclusion of the front teeth.
