Increased saliva secretion?

summary

Increased saliva secretion? Saliva is a mixture of large and small salivary glands. It is colorless, tasteless and nearly neutral (pH 6.6-7.1). The daily secretion of normal adults is 1.0-1.5 L, of which water accounts for about 99%. The rest are mainly organic substances such as mucin, globulin, urea, uric acid, salivary amylase, lysozyme and a small amount of inorganic salts.

Increased saliva secretion?

The efferent nerves innervating salivary glands are sympathetic and parasympathetic. When these two kinds of nerves were excited, salivary secretion increased, but parasympathetic nerve was the main role. When the parasympathetic nerve is excited, its terminals release acetylcholine and act on the salivary gland to make it secrete a large amount of thin, enzyme rich and strong digestion saliva. If acetylcholine or similar drugs are used, it can cause a large amount of saliva secretion, while anti acetylcholine drugs (such as atropine) can inhibit saliva secretion.

Children are not used to swallowing saliva, and the mouth is shallow, so saliva continues to flow out, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. When teething, it stimulates the local nerves and makes the salivary glands secrete more. As the child grows older, when he can swallow too much saliva, this phenomenon will disappear by itself. Parents don't have to be nervous, they don't have to be treated.

Usually, if you have too much saliva in your mouth, you should pay attention to regulating your spleen, because if you have too wet temper, the moisture in your body will aggravate, which will cause too much saliva. You can eat corn or boil millet porridge to regulate, and usually eat less sweet food. Sometimes people with low blood sugar will secrete too much saliva when they don't eat on time and feel hungry, so it's necessary to ensure that they eat on time and in quantity. People with low blood sugar can take sugar with them at any time. Eating when they feel hungry can quickly supplement their body energy.

matters needing attention

Acidic food can cause excessive saliva secretion. For example, when you think of plum, you want to drool, because acid is opposite to the spleen and stomach. When you think of sour things, the stomach will quickly digest. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. If you don't digest well after meals, you can eat some acidic food to help digestion.
