Should I Be Concerned About The False Sensation Of Drooling In The Face?
Hi Dr. I have had these false sensations of drooling for a couple years on the right side of my face. I was in a car accident in 1984 where as I suffered a fractured skull on the left side. Is this anything to worry about? thank you Cheryl Le Masurier

Hi
Your false sense of drooling could be due to the traumatic head injury you had in the past.
You should consult your local doctor so that he can examine you and rule out any associated nerve injury which could be triggering this sensation
If the false sensation of drooling is affecting your quality of life I would suggest you visit a psychologist or occupational therapist so that they can teach you coping mechanisms and help you overcome this problem
