What Is The Cause And Treatment For Problem In Swallowing Saliva?
While sleeping, my younger sister who is 8 years old has a huge problem with swallowing her saliva. She makes disgusting sounds with it, swishing it back and forth in her mouth before taking a huge gulp. She does this every few minutes and it s driving me insane. What can I do?
HI. This occurs due to enlarged tonsils and adenoids. You have to consult an ENT Surgeon for a proper diagnosis and medical management.. If the condition remains same after 3 weeks of treatment , she may need a small surgery . Medicines should be given for 3 weeks.
