What Causes Excess Saliva Formation In Mouth?
Within 2 hours after eating (almost every time) I start experiencing excess saliva in my mouth (a mouthful within 30 seconds). This can continue for hours. I sometimes notice (but not always) a slight burning in my lower stomach.Thanks for any information/help.

HI
THIS CAN BE DUE TO GASTRITIS ACUTE USUALLY, CALLED WATERBRASH, DUE TO INCREASED ACID SECRETIONS
OR ANY LOCAL INFECTION OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS
OR EXCESSIVE STIMULATION OF THE SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM, STRESS RELATED.
KEEP YOURSELF HYDRATED WELL
YOU CAN START WITH ANTACIDS AND DRUGS LIKE PANTOPRAZOLE(PPI) TO REDUCE THE ACIDITY
