Hello thanks for consulting at hcm..you are having weak joint,head ache,chronic sore throat from 15 years.. They are all symptoms of rheumatic fever which affects the teenagers..pooling of saliva could be due to salivary stone in the ducts of salivary glands.. You might need ultrasound examination to check for salivary calculi..Either ways plz take a opinion with a general physician and oral physician..hope it helps ..take care..
