Dr. Zhang Liwen
Mumps may cause persistent drooling.
Conditions such as mumps can lead to excessive salivation, resulting in persistent drooling. Anti-inflammatory treatment with antibiotics should be administered rationally under a physician’s guidance. If the condition is caused by a viral infection, antiviral medications may also be prescribed and used as directed by the physician.
Regular follow-up visits to the hospital are recommended in daily life.
