Abstract

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.
