What Causes Foaming At The Mouth?
My dad is 54 years old. He has a spine condition called spondilosis. Recently, he complained of severe pain. He went to the hospital and got some medications. He is waiting for a MRI to be done on him. One night we realised that he has foam in his mouth while he is sleeping. Why is this so? Please reply soon. i m really worried. Thank You.

Hi,
Foam in the mouth indicates some other neurological condition apart from back pain. I would suggest you contact a neurologist and tell him the details of frothing from mouth. He might like some more investigations,
In the meantime continue with medications and treatment for back pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
