Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you are having excessive salivation which could be due to oral infection, improper hygiene, excessive starch consumption, serotonin syndrome and could be thyroid dysfunction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water and maintain complete hygiene. You should consult oral physician once for proper examination and start treatment as per diagnosis . Doctor will examine physically and perform oral prophylaxis. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist. Take antisialogogues and now maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid eating spicy and heavy food .

Hope your concern has been solved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
