Suggest Treatment For Excessive Drooling

Hi doc. I have a problem of messing my pillow and sheets with blood manifested drool! Its soo embarrassing because it makes my bed look dirty within 1 or 2 days of me changing my linen. Is there perhaps any toothpaste that I could opt to? Ooh and I m a mouth breather I can t breath through my nose when I m asleep. HELP!!!

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The excessive drooling during sleep can be because of the lack of swallowing threshold. The blood stained saliva can be secondary to the gum infection that results in bleeding gums. So consult a oral physician and get your teeth cleaned. Regarding your mouth breathing, you need to consult a orthodontist and get an appliance done. You can use topical gum astringents like tannic acid for the bleeding gums.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
