Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on this forum.
Have gone through your details and i appreciate your concern.

A watery mouth is caused by an excess of saliva produced by the salivary glands. . Watery mouth usually goes away on its own. In prolonged or especially severe cases, it may be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition such as a Reflux disease or other illness.Acid reflux is one of the most important cause of it,Acid reflux back into the mouth irritates salivary glands and hence increases the secretion of those glands.The reflux of acid back into mouth and throat irritates the mucosa of it and causes mild inflammation leading to pain in swallowing.
Please mention if you evel feel heartburn?
Do you ever feel acidity or gases in stomach?
Do you ever had GERD?
What are the levels of your anxiety?
Have you ever tried PPI's?

Waiting.

Regards!
