DROOLING ISSUE
Hello Dr,
I wanted to reach out with a concern regarding my 14-month-old son. He weighs 10 kg, is very active, playful, and eats a variety of foods without issue. However, I've noticed that he drools quite a bit, and sometimes his t-shirt gets wet due to the drooling.
He currently has about 7 teeth, and I believe another one is coming through. I understand that drooling can be common during teething, but I wanted to check if this is something I should be concerned about or if it's typical for his age.
Given his overall healthy behavior and development, I’m wondering if a visit to the doctor is necessary at this point or if there's anything else I should keep an eye on.
Thank you !
