POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. It's common for babies, especially around 2 to 3 months old, to produce excess saliva as they begin teething or are still learning how to manage their saliva production. This is usually not a cause for concern, and there is no need for medication to control it. However, to help with the discomfort or excessive drooling:
What You Can Do: Use a soft cloth or bib to keep your baby’s chin dry and prevent skin irritation. Teething rings or toys can help soothe their gums and reduce drooling. Ensure they are upright after feedings to help manage saliva production.
If the drooling is accompanied by other symptoms like fever, difficulty swallowing, or signs of illness, consult your pediatrician to rule out any infections or underlying conditions. Typically, this phase will pass as your baby grows and becomes more skilled at managing saliva.
