    When should Drooling Cause Concern

    July 26, 2024, 09:49 AM by UTMB Pediatrics

    When should a parent or caregiver be worried about drooling? If an ill child with a sore throat has excessive drooling and difficulty breathing call 911 immediately as it may be a life-threatening emergency called epiglottis. Thanks to vaccines this is less common today.
