Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 My child's drooling didn't go away until we eliminated all things casien. That did the trick for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Drooling at 20mths can be cutting back teeth! Our son had minimal drooling when teething. At 5yrs old he had an allergic reaction to his vacs. He slowly lost what muscle strength he had, quit walking(this took a lot of work for him to even ever do) and the " Drool " was excessive!!! We realized the drooling came with lack of/weak muscles and viral overload. The weaker he became the more drool(with many other added medical issues)! Recovering and the drool slowly slowed down. At 8yrs he still has minimal drool and always something in mouth! But also remember at your sons age they do still cut back teeth. Maybe treat for viral with natural supplementing!

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Speaking of drooling.... My NT child was 2 plus when she began to drool. It was excessive and I had to change bib after bib for her. It turned out that she had HUGE adenoids, chronicly inflamed tonsils and a low-grade middle ear infection. When we 'stripped' her clean of all of these, the drooling ceased, the speech issues faded and she went on to be an absolute star! Basicly, the child could barely breathe she was so chronicaly congested and once we discovered the cause, it was easily fixed. My apraxic/dyspraxic child actually had problems with casien (causing congestion) and muscle tone issues in his face and jaw. We elminated the casien, strengthened his jaw and worked his swallowing techinques and his velum. We also had to work his lips and tongue for oral motor purposes as this also was affecting his speech. When my son is very thirsty, it is odd... that drooly sound re-emerges in his voice and some sounds. He is older and has equated this to thirst. I find this extremely 'wierd'. Two very different children; same 'problem' but two very different reasons for 'why'. You do have to investigate the causation of the drool. It is coming from 'somewhere'.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Gosh Willa, you are making me worry. I hope the doc's can get him in sooner to sort this all out.
