Posted on Wed, 14 Oct 2015
Question: Hi, From last 3-4 months I am feeling that I have excess Salvia in my mouth, I never had this problem before and no one in my family had such issue, although I don't face any problem while sleeping but I feel uncomfortable while speaking. I never thought about it seriously, but now I am not liking this and want to get rid of this problem, please let me know what are the reasons and treatment of this problem.

Brief Answer:
Possible Hypersalivation

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I understand your concern.

This could be hypersalivation/drooling.

This can be caused by dysregulation of the neurohormonal system.

This can be a common problem.

I generally recommend my patients oral tablets of Glycopyrrolate for 3 months to effectively treat this problem.Please check with your doctor if he shares my view and if can prescribe them to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
