What Causes Excess Salivation?

Hi, over the past couple of days I have noticed that my mouth has been producing more saliva than normal and it s really hard to swallow down because when I do it feels like I will choke. I have also noticed difficulty swallowing drink and food sometimes. My doctor said it might be because I have an under active thyroid and I have yet to get an ultrascan of my neck. I was just wondering what would be your opinion on this. Thanks

Hi dear,

As per your query you are having excess saliva in you mouth from past few daya , well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like iral infection , acid reflux and thyroid dysfunction . I would suggest you to consult dentist for proper diagnosis . Doctor will examine physically and perform oral prophylaxis , DOctor may refer you to gastroenterologist or endocrinologist if he/she fin problem to be related with acid reflux or thyroid . For now maintain proper oral hygiene and avoid eating spicy and heavy food .

Hope your concern has been solved .
