Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gagging frequently, having a limited variety of foods, and turning away from feeding are all indicators of oral hypersensitivity. Coughing while swallowing or enjoying self-feeding are not necessarily indicators of oral hypersensitivity, and chewing all foods carefully and avoiding mealtimes could potentially indicate a different issue altogether. Mouths objects, having a history of pica, and liking to brush teeth are not necessarily related to oral hypersensitivity.
