De behandeling van kwijlen bij kinderen

• Undesirable drooling in children is an underexposed problem and difficult to treat, although there are multiple treatment options.
• A multidisciplinary approach is preferable for the examination and treatment of patients with drooling.
• The injection of botulinum toxin is the most frequently performed treatment for children who drool, but the effects are temporary.
• If drooling persists despite conservative treatment, surgical interventions performed by an otolaryngologist may be considered and may offer a more definitive solution.
