Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.

I guess she's teething? as she is 3 months old that might be the reason for drooling.

All that drool can make babies gag and cough (you'd choke too with a mouthful of spit).
You can try suction of excess saliva after learning from your doctor.

So don't worry this will go away on it's own as the teeth develops.

Hope i helped you.
