Drooling or sialorrhea can occur during sleep. It is often the result of open-mouth posture from CNS depressants intake or sleeping on one's side. Sometimes while sleeping, saliva does not build up at the back of the throat and does not trigger the normal swallow reflex, leading to the condition.

Dear lybrate-user,
This must be expectoration. You seems to have throat or lung infection. You must visit nearest doctor so that he can examine you or advise you if any investigation required. Do inform me thereafter.
