Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,
Excessive salivation can be due to GIT disturance, excessive starch intake, liver disease, mouth ulcer.
I would suggest you to get a checkup done for by an Gasteroenterologist for indigestion.
For gum infection take antibiotics and analgesic course, go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.
At home take lukewarm saline nad antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Take care!
