Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

Excessive salivation can be due to prolonged use of certain medications, excessive starch intake, neurological disorders.
I would suggest you to consult to a Physician and get the checkup done.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.
Go for complete mouth scaling and polishing.

Take care!
