annie Report post Posted January 3, 2008 Alex used to dribble all the time when he was younger. He also used to get ear infections and spoke very 'nasally'. Our GP referred us to an ENT specialist who removed Alex's adenoids and inserted grommits in his ears. Everything stopped almost straight after the operation. Obviously, I'm not suggesting that this could be why your son is dribbling, but if your son has any other symptoms, it might be worth having a word with your GP. I would never have realised at the time that dribbling was related to the other things. Annie xx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rhianydd Report post Posted January 4, 2008 mentioned it to the dr before and she thought it was related to his teeth but that has been ruled out just seems worse this time of year as he gets a sore chin through dribbling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen A Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Hi Rhianydd.I don't know if you have used any cream to try to prevent the sore chin.If you can find a barrier cream that can be used on faces it may help.Karen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
