There are many causes of drooling in 2-year-old babies, and there are not 5 causes, and usually more than 5 causes. Common causes of drooling in 2-year-old babies, mainly including physiological salivation and pathological salivation, as follows: a. Physiological salivation: 1, weak swallowing ability: because the swallowing function of 2-year-old babies is not well developed, can not swallow the saliva secreted in time, there will be obvious drooling phenomenon; 2, teething: baby generally to 2-2.5 years old teeth will all erupt, so 2-year-old babies may Still in the teething period, teething baby, due to the eruption of teeth, teeth upward growth process will produce stimulation, resulting in a large amount of saliva secretion, will also appear drooling phenomenon; 3, food stimulation: when the baby sees the food you want to eat, will reflexively drool, or eat more acidic food, will also appear drooling phenomenon; 4, attention shifting: when the baby is more focused on one thing. For example, focus on playing with the toy in hand, or watching TV, may forget to swallow saliva, will appear drooling phenomenon.
