Suggest Treatment For Hypersalivation
I am noticing an excess amount of saliva over the last few days. I did recently start taking an antibiotic and am wondering if that may be the cause. I last noticed this happen when I was pregnant, but I do not believe that is the case now...any ideas

Hello and thank you for your question.
It is possibly a side effect of the antibiotic. If it is excessive and troublesome you could use an antihistamine to help dry it up. If it is just a side effect of the antibiotic then it should clear up once you finish with the course of medicines.
Regards
