The position that you sleep in often leads to drool pooling inside your mouth. People who sleep on their side, or on their stomach, are more likely to drool when they sleep.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Hypersalivation, also known as sialorrhea or ptyalism, is when a person has too much saliva in their mouth. It can result in saliva from the mouth spilling over the bottom lip, known as drooling. Depending on the cause, hypersalivation can either be constant or intermittent.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

in hypersalivation, your salivary glands produce more saliva than usual. If the extra saliva begins to accumulate, it may begin to drip out of your mouth unintentionally. In older children and adults, drooling may be a sign of an underlying condition. Hypersalivation may be temporary or chronic depending on the cause.

Dear lybrate-user ji
good evening!
I feel that your case might be an allergic bronchitis but still need to validate that. To have frequent sputum is not the sign of tb alone. If you need any ayurvedic advice, please do message me privately. I will try to help you to get a permanent treatment.

I am 47-year old male. I am suffering from excess salivation from more than 3 months. I am on regular medicines for thyroid (thyronorm 50 mcg), bp (stamlo 5 mg 2 times per day) and anxiety (paxidep cr 12.5 mg). I had consulted few physicians on mfine and had undergone treatments for gerd (rabium dsr, mucaine gel, pantocid, rantac), allergy (bilastine) and vitamin-b/c/d deficiency (dries, limcee, neorbian forte) etc. But was not giving any results. I continued to use mouthwash, polo and hyocimax/buscopan tablets for temporary relief. I also stopped ashwagandha which I was taking from 6 months to rule out any issues due to that as per doctor advise. Also, full body checkup report from thyrocare did not reveal any other issue. Then, I had consulted ent on apollo24*7 and usg of neck/parotid came complete normal (suspicion was for stone). Then, I consulted dental as per ent referral and they did deep cleaning. After that, I was referred to gastro for endoscopy but that doctor did not find reason for endoscopy and suggested me to go rather for neuro consultation. After that, I consulted neurologist who gave me tablet for glycopyrolette and somehow, that gave me some good relief. At least, it is in control from last few days. I have done brain mri too just for precaution (as I had attenuation of sylvian branches issues in 2013) but right now, it is 100% normal. So, right now, it is in somewhat control with glycopyrolette tablets though doctor suggested that it is just symptomatic relief and for long-term, I should look towards alternative treatment. Let me know if this is something I can/should look for and can get root cause and permanent relief without adding another tablet for lifetime. If any more tests needed to rule out any other possibility - I would be happy to go for that. I would be more happy for ayurvedic or homeopathic options as I have lost trust in allopathy the way doctors are not even able to diagnose basic things and bouncing from one doctor to other. Of course, if any other test can give root cause, I would be fine for that.

It is good that you have some relief with glycopyrrolate. Sometimes it is very difficult to find the cause of a symptom and the best we can do would be to provide relief.
I would like to know how long have you been diagnosed to have depression and how long are you taking paxidep. Excessive salivation might be part of depression itself. Modulating the dose of your medicine will help. Please feel free to contact for further evaluation.

Drooling is usually caused by excess saliva in the mouth. Allergies and above-the-neck infections such as strep throat, tonsil infection, and sinusitis can all impair swallowing. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

Drooling is defined as saliva flowing outside of your mouth unintentionally. It’s often a result of weak or underdeveloped muscles around your mouth, or having too much saliva. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

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. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.
