What Medication Can I Take For Excessive Saliva Production?
Question: what product you suggest for excessive salive
Brief Answer:
Treating the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Treatment of excessive salivation is usually directed to correct the cause. In case of excessive salivation during sleep then this is probably due to mouth breathing which could be due to tonsillitis, sinusitis or hypertrophied nasal turbinates. So, I would recommend that you get examined by an ENT doctor to exclude these causes.
If the cause cannot be diagnosed then this can be treated by beta blockers which needs a prescription from your doctor.
I hope you find this helpful.
