Brief Answer: As below: Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for writing back. 1. Hypersalivation is likely a reflex due to the cold and anxiety. Other causes include dehydration, thick mucus / post nasal drip and gastritis due to excessive use of disprin gargles. Avoid disprin if you are asthmatic. 2. Solvin is not a gargle. It is a decongestant and mucolytic. I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be available to answer them. Regards.

Brief Answer: No, this is not possible in your case. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for writing back. 1. You will not choke in your sleep due to excess saliva. 2. The choking sensation may be a laryngospasm or due to dryness following mouth breathing due to a blocked nose. 3. With normal throat and laryngeal reflexes, aspiration of saliva into the air way and lungs does not happen. The occasional choking or cough may be related to a minute aspiration due to normally decreased swallowing movements during sleep. 4. Sleep on one side and not on your back. I hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be available to answer them. Regards.
