Brief Answer:
A short course antisalivation drugs will help
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
I can certainly understand your concern
Hypersalivation can be secondary to recovery from Infection or antibiotic therapy.
This isn't a major problem Sir
You will gradually recover in the due course.
I generally prescribe oral medications of Tab Glycopyrrolate 1 mg 1 to 2 times a day for 3 to 5 days to my patients with similar symptoms.
Please check with your physician if he/she shares my opinion and if can prescribe these medications to you.
