What Could Be The Cause For Excessive Saliva Production And Feeling Sick ?

Hello, recently I have been feeling quite sick, it has last 3 days now.
I am producing excessive seliver and its making me feel quite sick.
Everytime I swollow I'm feeling as if I need to run to the bathroom before I am sick...
If I have a drink of water or go outside for some air, It stops the sickness for about 5 minutes but doesn't stock the over siliver production.
I'm finding it quite hard to sleep without feeling unwell aswell...

Is there anything you can think of that might be of help?

Regards
Sian

Hi, thanks for using HCm.


In adults, the most common reasons of chronic excessive salivation and drooling are parkinsonism, stroke - because of their inability to recognize / swallow the saliva.

The cause could either be due to excessive production of salivary glands or due to a problem of swallowing the saliva at right time due to various reasons like oral, pharyngeal or oesophageal causes. If the doctor can find this out, he can directly shoot at the cause. You may need physical examination and battery of test to find the root cause.

If a clear cause is not found, then, You may take the help of antisialagogues ( medicines).
Hope this helps you.
