Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Posted August 11, 2006 Hi everyone, I was wondering if any of your children experienced excessive drooling as part of apraxia. I don't remember reading any messages about this. Our son Evan was diagnosed with oral motor apraxia in May and had excessive drooling. We started the 2 ProEFA and 1 ProEPA at the end of May and the drooling stopped miracuously in about 1-2 weeks. Now it's started again. It's not as much as it was before the fish oil but excessive that his shirts gets all wet and needs a bib. He's 28 mos and a bit embarassing for him to wear a bib in public. We try to remind him constantly to make him aware of it but he really never notices all the wetness around his mouth and chin. Is there anything we can do to stop it again? Does anyone have ideas why it started again? Our SLP thinks it may be becz he has started to make sounds and he gets tired. Quote
