Hello, My two year and two month old son has just started sticking his tongue out all the time and drooling. He also is pulling his lips back(upper and lower)as he sticks his tongue out. I know he is teething. Is this normal behavior? I am concerned because it looks strange. Thanks, Brian
Hello Brian, I can understand your concern. As your son is starting erupt teeth, he might be producing excessive saliva as a bodies response to a new development in mouth. This is completely normal and nothing to worry about. As the mouth will grow with advancing age of the kid and more teeth will start to develop, you will not find excessive saliva and Chat Doctor.  You can clean the excess saliva with a thin cotton cloth time to time with little pressure so that rashes do not appear with repeatedly rubbing cloth over the area. Sticking tongue out is also a response to developing new teeth and growing tongue size, which will stop eventually. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor. Take care. Best,
