How To Treat Uncontrollable Drooling?
My son (9) just told me he was drooling uncontrollably during a bowel movement. I thought, Odd, but not particularly alarmed. On the other hand, he seemed rather disturbed that it happened. I suggested that it could simply be a bodily reaction to the relief he was feeling, but I would like to know more.

Hi, thank you for posting!
I have gone through your query and I understand your concerns.
In my opinion, your son's symptoms indicate that he suffers from hypersalivation, which may be a result of an abdominal disease, such as GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) or a liver disease.
Your son need the following tests:
- Abdominal ultrasound
- Liver test
- Complete blood count
- Urine test
You should consult your gastroenterologist, in order to determine the right diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this helped.
All the best,
Dr. Behar.
