1 Answer

A. Excessive drooling and keeping the mouth open most of the time in a 2.5-year-old can be fairly common, especially if they are teething. At this age, children often experience the eruption of their molars, which can lead to increased saliva production. Another possibility is that your child may be developing habits related to mouth breathing, which can happen if they have nasal congestion or are not yet fully accustomed to breathing through their nose. However, if the drooling is persistent, associated with difficulty swallowing, or if you notice other signs like coughing or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues, such as enlarged tonsils or other health concerns.
