Brief Answer: May be infection of oral mucosa. Detailed Answer: Hello, XXXXX, Thank you for consulting with HCM. This is Dr. Dipti Singh here to answer your query. As you are mentioning that you are feeling excessive saliva in your mouth with sore cheeks, it looks that you are having some kind of infection of mouth. Actually there are many reasons for increase in saliva like mouth infection, GERD disease (stomach problem), liver disease or Pancreatitis. In your case sore cheeks are also present that is why it can be mouth infection. But to confirm the condition you have to visit a good dentist, as he will examine the oral cavity and give you the diagnosis. Hope it will help you. Thank you Regards Dr. Dipti Singh
