Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The increased salivary secretion can be because of any infection in the oral cavity like gum infection or tooth infection, the other possible cause can be impaired swallowing threshold. So consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Once get all these issues treated if still the excess salivary secretion occurs, then you can take atropine after physicians advise.
I hope I have answered your query, take care.
