Hello,

Excessive salivation occurs during temporal, parietal or frontal lobe epilepsy. The following can be done to decrease the excessive salivation:
1) Daily oral medications to diminish saliva production.
2) Periodic injections of a medication called Botox for temporary reduction in saliva production.
3) Variety of open surgical procedures to remove some salivary glands or disconnect others from the mouth.
Please do contact your physician and discuss the above methods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
