There are different glands that causes production of saliva. Improper Sleeping Position ? When you sleep on your side or your stomach, your mouth often opens as you relax, and saliva can dribble out. But when you sleep on your back, you naturally swallow during sleep, which prevents drooling. Allergic rhinitis and certain food allergies cause over-production of saliva resulting in drooling. Although, I have treated many patients having same probs, so fix an appointment.
