What Causes Excessive Salivation And Burping?

Because yesterday I was eating noodles and a little piece went through the right side of my throat. Idk if it was normal but I felt in the morning but by noon it was gone. Now when I eat or drink it s going through the right side. And then I m also making a lot of saliva coming up from my right throat and then I think the right side of my chest hurts a little...I m also burping a lot. But I ve been keeping up with a large container to spit on for my saliva overproduction. Please help me, idk I feel paranoid.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain and presentation of symptoms it seems that some the right side of throat has got irritated by either hot noodles or spices or a large portion taken at once can cause sudden choking and when forcefully the food is pushed down the throat it can cause irritation to throat mucosa..

Now as you are eating anything it is touching to the irritated mucosa and it feels that food is going to right of throat..

Other thing is that excessive salivation, burping and discomfort in chest is indicative of acid reflux which has occurred due to indigestion or taking spicy and large meal.

Nothing to worry as there is nothing serious and you will get relieved soon..
Take antacid like Milk of magnesia half an hour before meals and even now if you are feeling uneasy.
Drink plenty of cold water as it will dilute the acid and provide relief..
Take a short walk as it will help in kicking up digestion process.
Take small and light meals and avoid spicy food.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
