Stick out there tounges and drool excessively? My cousin is three and whenever I pick him up his shirt is almost completely wet from drool. He is done teething. He has to switch shirts a couple of times a day! Do you think its some sort of facial tic? His father has a facial tic but he just sort of moves his head from side to side every couple of times a minute (it has been diagnosed as a facial tic.) My aunt is getting annoyed with changing her son’s shirt multiple times a day. Have you or your child experienced this drooling/tounge thing? And if so, how did you deal with it and/or stop it?
it sounds like an oral apraxia type thing to me.one of the main causes of drooling and tongue hanging out in a child that age is a lack of muscle control.I am going to guess that he is not talking really well either. He needs to be checked by the local school system (they will do it for free). I am guessing that he would qualify for special ed preschool and receive therapy there. My guess is that he would get speech therapy and maybe occupational therapy. You or your aunt can e-mail me for further details
