What Causes Excessive Salivation?

I have excessive mouth watering ocassionly. I have been to three eye, ear, nose and throat specialists. They all said (gee, i don't know what to tell you). Not very helpful, but very expensive. There are no other symptoms that occur with it, I don't have acid reflux, I am not teething, and I am not stressed out about anything. Can you give me any help?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.

As per your query you are having excessive salivation which could be due to oral infection, improper hygiene and thyroid dysfunction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper examination and start treatment as per diagnosis . Doctor will examine physically and perform oral prophylaxis. Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist. Take antisialogogues and now maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid eating spicy and heavy food .

Hope your concern has been solved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
