Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and I understand your concern.
Drooling or hypersalivation in adults is usually associated with infections or nervous system disorders.
Hypersalivation may be caused due
sinus infections
Sore throat or tonsillitis
Allergies
Heartburn or GERD.
I would suggest you to brush your teeth twice a day especially before sleeping and do not forget to clean your tongue..this helps in maintaining proper oral hygiene and hence reducing risk of infection.
Avoid heavy spicy and salty meals to maintain proper digestion.
Sleep with slightly elevated pillow.
Avoid caffeine drinks , alcohol, smoking.
Do physical exercises, yoga and meditation.
If these things doesn't help then you should consider consulting your physician for detailed medical examination and investigations.
Hope this helps.
Take care
