My Grandson Drool All the Time He's Four Years Old

Hi T.,
I have a 4 year old (Nov. B-day) son and he drools alot too. His pedi said that he was fine. He has had this issue for as long as I can remember. Our situation differs a little because he had an illness when he was smaller and as a result, besides the several blood transfusions that he has had, he also had to have extensive dental surgery. Point being all of his top teeth are capped and when I addressed his drooling with his pediatric dental specialist he told me that it was normal in some kids and that it is a sign of good health. He has been getting better at controlling what comes out of his mouth but I do notice that he swallows alot. Anyway, Hope this helps! Good luck and try not to worry!

Hi T.
My child drooled until we started her on zytec for allergies. All of a sudden, the drooling stopped! Same thing happened with my son. As soon as the allergies were under control the drooling got better and went away! Also, with my son his tonsils and adnoids were too big and once they were removed he could speak better and stopped drooling.
Having a long frenulum is okay. SOmeitmes it can hurt while breastfeeding and need to be clipped. Not a big deal.
hope this helps

hi there T..i really dont think that is to normal i have two childern and they never done anything like that.i would be geting the doctor to look a little better at that.if i felt like something was still wrong then i would find a nother doctor.goodluck

My daughter drooled until she was just over 2years old even though she had a full set of teeth before she was 1. She did stop though. I would have him checked out if he is still doing it. Has he been to a dentist?
I agree. It might not be hurting him physicaly, but kids can certainly be cruel. Good luck.
