Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I went through your query and understood your concerns.
Most common cause for your symptoms are gastro esophageal reflux disease. which presents with increased salivation and your doctors finding also showing cracked throat, which also goes in favour of reflux.
Acid reducing medication with Domperidone which helps in emptying of stomach contents helps to reduce your symptoms. Along with that avoid spicy food for few days and sleep with head end elevation with 2 pillows support. Try to maintain gap of atleast 2 hour between food and going to bed.
Other possible cause would be dental problems like caries tooth or ill fitting dentures.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask further related query.
Regards
