Excessive Formation Of Saliva In Mouth. Reason?

I have a problem with saliva I always have a lot of saliva forming in my mouth and want to know why this happens? but I want to know how to stop saliva from forming so much and so often because then when saliva forms I cant talk. So I have to swallow my saliva cause I cant spit it out and I have a bottom chin so whenever I swallow my saliva my bottom chin moves and I hate that so want to know how to stop a lot of saliva from forming and is it normal that saliva forms often and so quickly ?

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

Excessive salivation is called sialorrhoea.

It occurs due to infection to salivary glands,any chronic irritation to your salivary glands might cause such symptoms.

some times certain drugs also cause similar conditions.Few bacterial or viral etiology can cause excessive salivation.

Are you taking any medication?

Here i would advise you to seek your dentists help and get your salivary glands examined thoroughly for the cause.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
