Symptoms of sialorrhea

Anterior sialorrhea is easy to identify as the drooling is readily visible. Often there is constant drooling with resultant chronic wet clothing or bibs. Sometimes the drooling is worse at night with wet bedding every morning. Posterior sialorrhea can be more difficult to appreciate but may need to be considered if the child is constantly visibly choking and coughing or seems to be prone to repeated episodes of aspiration pneumonia.
