If your child is experiencing sudden excessive drooling, you must take them to a doctor within five minutes, a former paramedic has warned. Nikki Jurcutz, who was a paramedic for eight years with Ambulance Victoria, said excessive drooling could be a sign of a potentially life-threatening infection known as epiglottitis.
Paramedic’s warning to all parents. The rare condition occurs when tissue protecting the windpipe becomes inflamed. “I’m an ex-paramedic and I know that if your child has sudden excessive drooling, they’d need to be seen by a doctor in the next five minutes,” she said. “Epiglottitis is rare but, because of how quickly it can close off your child’s airway, it is one that should be taken seriously. The epiglottis is the flap that covers the airways.
