Hi @JaneNicsMum_34, great to meet you!

You may like to chat with @Abigail, @Rcarter, @staceye83 and @garethbeach who have all discussed caring for children with CP in past discussions.

Hi @JaneNicsMum_34

There are surgical and drug interventions that can be effective in dramatically reducing drooling, see:

https://www.scope.org.uk/support/families/cerebral-palsy/drooling

Obviously not all interventions are suitable for all people so you will probably need a GP referral to a Consultant.

If the cause of 'bad breath' isn't obvious that may also need investigating further as it can be an indication of other health conditions.

Best Wishes

Jean
