As soon as the baby grows, it will no longer burp after each meal. Do not worry, this does not mean that something is wrong. Just a child has learned to eat, swallowing too much air while.

Increased salivation may be associated with digestive diseases, including oral cavity, various infectious and inflammatory and neurological processes, as well as tumors of the salivary glands. The main manifestation of this condition is to increase the secretion of saliva.

Reasons hypersalivation

Salivation is provided with three pairs of major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular and sublingual), as well as the small glands located in the mouth (labial, buccal, gingival, lingual and palatine). Saliva plays an important role in the processing and food intake and maintain a constant environment within the body.

Hypersalivation may cause any disease of the digestive system, infectious and inflammatory processes in the mouth and throat, Parkinson's disease, epidemic encephalitis, stroke, neuralgia Neuralgia - the scourge of the elderly   trigeminal pregnancy toxaemia and some other diseases and conditions.

Reasons hypersalivation adults are usually associated with digestive diseases and neurological disorders, and the reasons for the increased salivation in children - acute respiratory viral infections and chronic diseases of upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, adenoiditis, sinusitis Sinusitis - when a puncture is required , Otitis media). Increased salivation in children under one year is often the norm.

Increased salivation after eating

This symptom accompanies many chronic diseases of the digestive system, such as gastritis, gastroduodenitis, stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer, pancreatitis, liver disease and biliary tract. The salivary glands react to digestive disorders increased salivation not to (as it should be OK), and after the meal.

Very often, this symptom occurs in diseases accompanied by high acidity of gastric juice - increased salivation dilutes the acidic environment of the stomach and makes it more neutral. Increased salivation is also observed in tumors of the pancreas Diabetes and pancreas - the things you need to know . Treatment hypersalivation in this case is to treat the underlying disease.

Increased salivation in diseases of the salivary glands

Salivation increases in inflammatory diseases and tumors of the salivary glands. The amplification salivation may be such that the patient is unable to swallow saliva.

• In acute inflammation of the salivary gland swelling and tenderness appears in the corresponding area, fever, excessive salivation, sometimes - pus from the mouth of the duct.
• When benign and malignant tumors of the salivary glands increased salivation is one of the early signs.

Increased salivation in diseases of the mouth and throat

Increased salivation always accompanies infectious and inflammatory diseases of the mouth and throat - stomatitis, gingivitis, periodontitis, tonsillitis, acute respiratory viral infections. It is a defensive reaction of the body, allowing time to remove from the mouth of infectious agents and their toxins and decomposition products of tissue. Increased salivation in this case develops in response to mechanical stimulation of the nerve endings of the oral cavity.

Increased salivation in infants

The salivary glands begin to function in a child in the third month of life. This is manifested in the form of constant drooling, but salivation (ptyalism) in infants is not always a sign of increased salivation - a child has not learned to swallow saliva.

Increased salivation in infants - a protective reaction of the body, helps the child to be removed from the mouth got there the outside infection. In addition, excessive salivation help alleviate gum irritation associated with teething Teething: hard times .

Increased salivation during pregnancy

During pregnancy, increased salivation may be associated with early toxicosis, developing due to neuroendocrine disorders in pregnant women. Early morning sickness is manifested in the form of nausea, vomiting and salivation. The danger it presents only in the case where a woman with vomitus and saliva losing large amounts of fluid.

Treatment hypersalivation, vomiting, and in this case - a fluid replacement. If a woman can not hold liquid due to vomiting, fluid is injected intravenously.

Increased salivation may be as a sign of a disease, and a protective reaction of the organism.
