Management of sialorrhea involves addressing the underlying cause and symptomatic treatment. Here are some common approaches:
Medication: Anticholinergic medications like glycopyrrolate may be prescribed to reduce saliva production. Therapy: Speech and occupational therapy can help improve oral motor skills and reduce drooling. Surgical Interventions: In severe cases, surgical options such as salivary gland excision or ligation may be considered. Supportive Care: Skin care regimens to protect against irritation, use of absorbent bibs, and maintaining good oral hygiene can help manage symptoms.
