Hi...
Welcome to healthcare magic.
You have problem of more salivation from mouth that may be because of any damage to salivary gland or other reasons.
Salivary gland inflammation may cause more salivation.
Drugs like pilocarpine or clonazepam use may lead to this.
Consult a physician for further diagnosis.
Get well soon..
Thank you.
