Treatment of drooling in children

 

Undesirable drooling in children is an underexposed problem and difficult to treat, although there are multiple treatment options.- A multidisciplinary approach is preferable for the examination and treatment of patients with drooling.- The injection of botulinum toxin is the most frequently performed treatment for children who drool, but the effects are temporary.- If drooling persists despite conservative treatment, surgical interventions performed by an otolaryngologist may be considered and may offer a more definitive solution.
