A member asked:

What type of doctor should my son see if he has excessive drooling and is 3 years old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Excessive drooling: The first stop for evaluation of a child who drools excessively is your primary pediatrician. S/he can perform some preliminary evaluations and consider referral to ENT, neurology or genetics. Occupational and/or speech therapy consults may also be of value.
