Is it cerebral palsy if the baby keeps sticking out his tongue?

If a baby keeps sticking out his tongue, it may not necessarily be due to cerebral palsy. When a child is happier, he or she may show such behavior. Of course, some medical reasons cannot be ruled out. For example, if the child has an enlarged tongue, he or she should be checked in time. In addition, if the child has endocrine problems, such as cretinism, this phenomenon may also occur. If there are some other symptoms, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

Reasons why babies always stick out their tongues

1. The most common thing is that some healthy and happy babies will stick out their tongues with a smile when they are happy. When children see delicious food, they will also stick out their tongues to lick their lips. These are all normal phenomena. This tongue sticking out will not last long and will soon return to normal. If the baby develops well and is not physically or intellectually backward, then the condition is not pathological and the child will no longer stick out his tongue as he grows older. 2. If your child often opens his mouth, sticks out his tongue, drools, and has an enlarged tongue, and the symptoms do not improve with age, you should pay attention and ask a pediatrician to give your child a comprehensive health check. 3. There are pediatric diseases in which sticking out the tongue is a symptom. For example, "cretinism" among endocrine system diseases is characterized by the child developing a special facial feature 2-3 months after birth, with a big head, flat nose, wide nose wings, big tongue, short and thick neck, enlarged thyroid gland, tongue often sticking out of the mouth, and being abnormally quiet. As children grow older, they will show signs of growth retardation, rough and dry skin, sparse hair, low muscle tone, and a large abdomen. In addition to the above situations, if the baby has a genetic disease, the tongue may be stuck out and the baby may have a special facial appearance. However, we cannot mistakenly assume that the baby has abnormal intelligence just because he sticks out his tongue. Determining whether there is a genetic disease should be observed in conjunction with other circumstances. If some mothers think it is unhygienic for their babies to stick out their tongues and play with saliva, and are afraid that their babies will develop bad habits, they can correct them appropriately.
