During sleep, profuse salivation. Increased salivation: symptoms, causes, types and methods of treatment

What causes salivation during sleep and what to do about it? This is worth paying attention to!

Very often, diseases can be the cause of increased salivation. Thus, our body gives signals that something is going wrong. It would seem a trifle, but it is not entirely true.

Runny nose

Let's start with the simple and obvious. Very often, drooling is due to a runny nose. At night, the nose is blocked, breathing is difficult and the person opens his mouth. This is where the increased secretion of saliva begins. This problem will resolve itself when the runny nose passes.

Infections in the mouth

Drooling flows with diseases of the oral cavity: inflammation of the mucous membrane, gums, with caries or periodontal disease. Breeding bacteria provoke the production, and, accordingly, the release of an increased amount of saliva. Always remember to take good care of your dental health.

Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract

Inflammation, hyperacidity, flatulence - all this leads to profuse salivation at night. With such diseases, salivation works as a protective measure: saliva dilutes gastric juice and reduces acidity. These symptoms should not be ignored, so as not to bring yourself to cholecystitis or pancreatitis.

Helminthiasis

Yes, that's right, it's not a myth at all. Of course, drooling in a dream is not a 100% guarantee of the presence of worms, but they may well be there. Worms cause a change in acidity, which, as we have said, leads to profuse salivation. There is a reason to get tested, get tested or take preventive measures.

Diseases of the nervous system

The symptom can manifest itself in violation of cerebral circulation, during Parkinson's disease or with trigeminal neuralgia. The same phenomenon is typical for syringobulbia, poliomyelitis, vascular pathologies and even oncology.

Diseases of the endocrine system

Abundant salivation can be a kind of reaction of the neuroendocrine system to some kind of stimulus. It can occur as a result of stress or endocrine diseases (thyroid, pituitary, hypothalamus). Sometimes seen in diabetes.

Very often, nighttime salivation occurs due to bad habits. People who use drugs or smokers very often suffer from this unpleasant symptom. There is only one recipe - it's time to quit bad habits.
ADVICE
So what can you do to get rid of nighttime salivation? To begin with, we recommend understanding the cause of its occurrence. If there are no visible reasons, then this is a serious reason to go to the doctor.
To prevent nighttime salivation, you can try changing your sleeping position. If you fall asleep on your side, try to retrain yourself and start falling asleep on your back. In the event that this does not help, you can try to put the pillow higher. Then the head will rise and the mouth will not open.

It is important to ensure that the nose is not blocked. You can try rinsing your nose or doing inhalations. Taking a hot shower before bed helps a lot, because the steam works akin to inhalation.
You need to monitor your health, but do not sound the alarm if you see drooling on your pillow once in the morning. Sometimes this can happen if your sleep was deep. This means that you completely relaxed and your body simply stopped controlling your mouth. And it's not scary at all, but quite the contrary.

Hypersalivation is manifested under the influence of irritating factors. An adult in a dream drools from his mouth against the background of the development of somatic diseases, with the abuse of bad habits or for physiological reasons. In the case of children, the discomfort associated with teething comes to the fore. With age, sialorrhea becomes relevant due to endocrine changes during puberty. The doctor should be engaged in diagnosis and treatment, focusing on the results of the examination. Prevention rules will help prevent the problem.

Approximately every half hour, 6 ml of saliva is formed in the mouth. The daily volume is about 2 liters. Such a high level of fluid excretion is necessary for a person to achieve the following goals:

aid in the absorption of complex carbohydrates;
protection against infections;
ease of swallowing food;
reducing the likelihood of developing caries;
prevention of drying of the mucous membrane.

It is important to know! Saliva is 98% water. A positive effect on the digestion process is due to the presence of enzymes, bacteria, trace elements, proteins, vitamins and other compounds. The composition may change slightly under the influence of irritants.

Salivation is controlled by the autonomic (autonomic) nervous system. When the parasympathetic subdivision is stimulated, a liquid with a meager percentage of protein is released, and as a result of the influence on the sympathetic branch, it is viscous. Without direct exposure, no more than 0.5 ml is produced in 60 seconds.

Increased secretion of saliva during sleep

Excessive salivation is called hypersalivation, ptyalism, or sialorrhea. During sleep, such a phenomenon is considered a deviation, since production should decrease significantly. Secretion increases for physiological and pathological reasons. The generally accepted classification will help you navigate the issue:

Form of pathology

Description

True hypersalivation occurs against the background of stimulation of the glands that secrete saliva.

It is customary to divide the true form of failure into several types:
Bulbar syndrome is a consequence of impaired nerve conduction (hyoid, vagus).
Pseudobulbar hypersalivation is a complication that occurs due to changes in the severity of oral reflexes.
Somatic ptyalism is a failure that develops under the influence of bodily diseases.
The psychogenic form is a sign of mental disorders.
Medicinal sialorrhea is a complication associated with taking medications.

A false variety of sialorrhea is considered a consequence of a violation of the swallowing function. The level of production remains within the norm.

The failure manifests itself against the background of the development of pathologies of the muscles, nerves and jaws, which are directly related to the swallowing process.

According to the degree of manifestation, hypersalivation is temporary and permanent. It all depends on the causative factor. The dosage form of the failure disappears after the end of the course of treatment, and the somatic form will remain until the main pathological process is stopped.

It is important to know! The reason for the intervention of a specialist appears if increased salivation worries regularly and is accompanied by other unpleasant symptoms indicating the development of diseases.

Typical signs

Signs of hypersalivation in men, women and children are identical. The main manifestation of a failure is strong salivation due to excessive glandular activity or a malfunction in the swallowing mechanism. The general clinical picture is as follows:

Common Failure Causes

Usually drooling during sleep in a child and an adult due to the physiological characteristics of the body. We are talking about the wrong position of the head, the structure of the jaw, toxicosis in pregnant women and the period of teething in children. In more rare cases, excessive fluid secretion manifests itself against the background of exposure to pathological processes or other irritants. Separately, cases of hypersalivation in the following groups of people are considered:

adults;
women during pregnancy;
kids.

The causes of impaired saliva secretion in adults are suitable for pregnant women and children. Special factors that provoke sialorrhea in childhood and during childbearing are relevant only at certain periods of time.

Increased salivation in an adult

Drooling in a dream in adults for reasons associated with irritation of the oral cavity and nervous system. Under the main factors are meant bad habits and diseases. Details are given in the table:

Causes	Description
Runny nose	Due to the development of rhinitis, the nose becomes clogged with mucus. Breathe through the mouth. Saliva begins to flow due to forced position.
Deformed nasal septum	The deviation of the septum from the optimal trajectory contributes to the development of inflammatory processes and respiratory failure. A person has to open his mouth slightly to compensate for the lack of air, which leads to saliva flowing out.
Infection	Diseases of the teeth and soft tissues, for the most part, develop due to infections and provoke hypersalivation.
Problems with the gastrointestinal tract	A lot of saliva is released during inflammation localized in the gastrointestinal tract, or helminthic invasion.
Neurological disorders	Failures in the work of the vegetative department provoke ptyalism.
Inflammation of the salivary glands	Sialorrhoea is the main symptom of mumps and other diseases associated with the glands that produce saliva.
Taking medication	Psychotropic drugs, anticonvulsants and antigluacoma drugs are characterized by hypersalivation, which manifests itself as an adverse reaction.
Drug exposure	Narcotic substances increase the secretion of saliva, affecting certain areas of the brain.
Smoking	The composition of cigarettes is extremely toxic and strongly irritates the oral mucosa, salivary glands and taste receptors. Hypersalivation manifests itself as a consequence of a negative impact.
The presence of a foreign body	Foreign objects (dental structures) in the mouth irritate the nerves, causing sialorrhea.
Endocrine disruptions	In violation of the hormonal balance in patients, the secretion of saliva may increase or decrease.

Drooling in pregnancy

Hypersalivation in pregnant women is due to the peculiarities of the period of bearing a child. After childbirth, the level of secretion is completely normalized. The list of reasons why expectant mothers drool during sleep is as follows:

The consequence of heartburn, which occurs due to the influence of progesterone on the sphincter between the esophagus and stomach.
Increased production of saliva during vomiting, characteristic of toxicosis.
Change in taste preferences.
Constant feeling of hunger.

High saliva production in childhood

During sleep, the child may seem too "slobbery" if he has learned to swallow saliva or is experiencing discomfort due to teething. In the absence of other irritants, the problem will resolve itself over time. The causes of hypersalivation in children can be divided into several periods:

newborns	The first weeks saliva is not actively secreted due to the underdevelopment of the glands. From 1 to 3-4 months, the infant experiences ptyalism against the background of a weak swallowing reflex.
Toddlers up to 2-3 years old	Children 4-5 months old suffer from hypersalivation with the growth of new teeth. More saliva is produced reflexively due to increased blood supply to the soft tissues. The problem ceases to be relevant by 2-3 years.
Children 12-14 years old	A teenager experiences severe body overload due to puberty. Hormone surges provoke various malfunctions of the autonomic nervous system, which manifests itself in the form of increased salivation and other symptoms.

Methods of treatment and prevention of the syndrome

By getting rid of excessive salivation, you can normalize sleep and prevent complications. If hypersalivation occurs against the background of the development of serious pathological processes, one cannot do without the help of a doctor. You will need to be examined to find and eliminate the causative factor. It is permissible to independently use the recommendations of specialists to improve the quality of rest and eliminate irritants:

Advice! Primary prevention of hypersalivation is the prevention of diseases that cause impaired saliva secretion. If the problem has already manifested itself, secondary measures will do. It is necessary to deal with the treatment of pathological processes and relief of symptoms.

Is there a health hazard

Nocturnal hypersalivation is characterized by various complications. Saliva constantly leaks, which causes discomfort and breaks the integrity of the skin. The general list of consequences is presented in the table:

health hazard	Description
Violation of the integrity of the skin	The person drools uncontrollably. Excess accumulates around the mouth, irritating the skin and contributing to the appearance of scabs and cracks, which is why inflammatory processes develop.
Inflammation of the airways	There is a risk of catching aspiration pneumonia if the patient has a false form of ptimalism. The development of the disease is due to a disturbed swallowing mechanism. Saliva begins to flow into the airways, leading to obstruction.
Showing signs of sleep deprivation	Constantly flowing saliva causes discomfort, which reduces the quality of sleep. Gradually, the symptoms of insomnia will become noticeable.

During sleep, saliva flows for physiological and pathological reasons. The first group is not dangerous and passes with time or is easily eliminated. The presence of hypersalivation, which develops against the background of other diseases, should be the reason for going to the doctor. The specialist will prescribe examinations and select the optimal course of therapy.

When adults drool during sleep, it can be due to a large number of different reasons - from diseases of the oral cavity to problems with the central nervous system. In this regard, the condition with increased salivation at night is a serious problem for the attending physician. Making the correct diagnosis in an adult and a child requires a comprehensive examination involving doctors of various specialties. Treatment in such cases can vary significantly in individual patients, however, if a person is sleeping and saliva flows, then the general principles of therapy remain similar.

The causes of increased salivation during sleep can be various.

Main reasons

Saliva in the mouth secretes in response to some kind of food stimulation - it can be both the taste of food and its smell, or even appearance. However, in some cases, the regulation of this process is possible with an increase in salivation at night in both adults and children. The main reasons in this case are:

diseases of the digestive system, such as acute gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, can lead to impaired salivation processes, leading to the development of an unpleasant symptom;
chronic stress, as well as any brain diseases, including psychiatric ones;
any kind of intoxication associated with food, alcohol or drug poisoning can cause increased salivation;
diseases of the oral cavity (caries, stomatitis, etc.);
any foreign objects in the mouth, such as braces, poorly installed prostheses, can provoke salivation at night;

Braces can cause increased salivation

endocrine diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, etc.;
increased salivation often occurs in smokers due to the irritating effect of nicotine on the oral mucosa;
during pregnancy, such a condition may be associated with changes in the hormonal background or against the background of toxicosis.

The causes of increased salivation may be related to nutrition or bad habits of a person.

The causes of this condition in children are often physiological in nature. So, for example, the salivary glands in newborns constantly form and secrete an increased amount of saliva, which causes the presence of hypersalivation at night. Why do older children drool from their mouths in their sleep? This may be due to teething or various local diseases of the oral cavity (stomatitis), which is often observed in young children.

This variety of possible causes makes it difficult to make an accurate diagnosis. However, when contacting a medical institution, doctors can perform various diagnostic procedures and cope with this problem.

Complaints and symptoms

It is quite unpleasant for an adult to find that he is drooling in a dream.

The salivary glands constantly produce a certain amount of saliva. At the same time, their activity decreases at night. The normal volume formed within 10 minutes is 2 to 3 ml. If it is exceeded without objective reasons (food stimulation, the use of certain drugs), one should think about the presence of any diseases.

Due to the fact that active salivation is noted at night, this can lead to sleep disturbance, as well as discomfort after waking up. If a symptom is observed in a child, then the parents are the first to notice a large amount of saliva in the baby's mouth and on the pillow, which causes them concern.

In order to answer the question of why saliva flows during sleep in a child or an adult, it is necessary to seek professional help from a pediatrician or general practitioner in the hospital, respectively.

Diagnostic procedures

It is possible to establish the reason why drooling in a dream during a comprehensive examination of a person. The following diagnostic algorithm is used.

The attending physician collects a history of life and disease from the patient, paying attention to the time of onset of symptoms, as well as to accompanying complaints.
Much attention should be paid to the peculiarities of a person's lifestyle, working conditions and bad habits, since all this can lead to drooling at night.
The dentist carefully examines the oral cavity for any lesions of the mucous membrane, diseases of the teeth, tongue, etc.

Checkup at the dentist

If necessary, consultations with related specialists, including a psychiatrist and a neurologist, are shown.

Only a specialist doctor who is able to correctly assess all the identified deviations should interpret the results of the research.

When establishing the causes of increased activity of the salivary glands, the doctor prescribes appropriate therapy aimed at eliminating the underlying disease.

Effective treatment

Regarding the fact that saliva flows during sleep, it is always necessary to consult a general practitioner. Only a medical specialist is able to prescribe the appropriate treatment that can help a particular patient.

In addition to the use of medications, all patients are advised to change their lifestyle, as increased salivation can develop due to nutrition. A person should remove spicy, fatty and salty foods from his diet, due to the fact that such foods stimulate salivation. For the same reason, such products are not recommended to be eaten before the patient goes to bed. Also, it is best to quit smoking, since it is smoking that most often leads to the formation of a large amount of saliva.

The basis of therapy is the treatment of the disease that caused hypersolivation

Therapy for such manifestations is always directed to the disease leading to hypersalivation, and not to the symptom itself. For this purpose, a large number of drugs can be used. For example, if a patient has a stomach ulcer, the doctor prescribes antisecretory drugs for him, and if a Helicobacter pylori infection is detected, antibacterial drugs.

The prescription of medications should take into account the age of the patient and concomitant diseases.

In cases where increased nocturnal salivation cannot be eliminated with the help of medications (for example, anticholinergic drugs (Scopolamine, Riabal), which reduce the production of saliva and do not allow it to flow at night, cannot be used during pregnancy), special procedures that inhibit the work of the salivary glands themselves:

surgical removal of a specific salivary gland when its lesion is detected;
various options for cryotherapy, etc.

For each individual patient, the set of drugs and schemes for their use may differ. There is no one universal approach to this therapy.

It is important to note that the use of traditional medicine methods is not recommended, due to the lack of evidence of their effectiveness and safety, both in children and adults. If the patient still wants to try traditional approaches, then they should be consulted with their doctor.

In order to determine why drooling in a dream, you should always seek professional help from a hospital. Properly carried out diagnosis and the appointment of rational treatment allows you to quickly cope with an unpleasant symptom, preventing its recurrence in the future.

Salivation is a natural physiological process. Saliva is actively secreted at the sight of food, during its intake, and is necessary for its primary splitting. However, excessive salivation is a manifestation of some diseases.

Saliva is a fluid secreted by the salivary glands. It contains water, enzymes, minerals, organic substances. A healthy person produces 1 ml of salivary secretion every 5 minutes.

Abundant salivation is called hypersalivation - the secretory activity of the salivary glands is increased. The only case when current saliva is a physiological norm is in children from three months to six months, in other cases it is considered as a symptom of a particular disease.

Causes of increased salivation

Excessive salivation can be caused by inflammatory pathologies of the oral cavity or upper respiratory tract - gingivitis, tonsillitis, stomatitis. At the same time, pathogenic bacteria penetrate into the ducts of the salivary glands, provoking inflammation and swelling.

The mucous membrane becomes irritated, and saliva begins to be actively produced as a protective reaction to the effects of pathogens and their waste products.

In the case of excessive salivation, the cause is a disease of the digestive system, for example:

gastritis and peptic ulcer;
dysfunction of the pancreas;
increased acidity;
tumors;
liver pathology.

Hypersalivation appears if the vagus nerve is irritated, with Parkinson's disease and some other disorders in the brain and spinal cord.

Other reasons why drooling may also be:

and pathology of the thyroid gland;
medicines - Nitrozepam, Physostigmine, Pilocarpine, lithium preparations, Muscarin;

Hypersalivation is the norm in babies aged 3-6 months and during the period when the first teeth are cut. Pathological causes of excessive salivation in a child are:

indigestion and gastrointestinal diseases;
stomatitis;
sialodermatitis;
the entry of pathogens into the oral cavity;
helminth infection.

Excessive salivation is possible in children with cerebral palsy. The muscles of the mouth and face in this disease are uncoordinated due to impaired brain function.

Hypersalivation is false, that is, not caused by health problems. In this case, the amount of salivary secretion secreted does not exceed the norm, but the child does not swallow it.

You can overcome this by teaching the baby to swallow saliva and eliminating the habit of keeping the mouth constantly open. A light massage of the soft palate can help with this, and for training the facial muscles it is useful to give the child hard vegetables (carrots, apples).

Profuse salivation at night

Normally, less saliva is secreted at night than during the day. The cause of excessive salivation in humans during sleep are:

Breathing through the mouth due to diseases of the nasopharynx (rhinitis, sinusitis), allergic rhinitis, curvature of the nasal septum;
Sleep problems, nervous strain - since the activity of the salivary glands depends on the work of the brain, anxiety, interrupted sleep lead to profuse salivation;
Incorrect bite, in which the jaws close unevenly, which leads to the leakage of accumulated saliva.

Is excessive salivation a sign of pregnancy?

The cause of increased salivation in women is early toxicosis, in which an increase in the amount of saliva is provoked by a deterioration in cerebral circulation. After 10-12 weeks, this problem most often disappears.

The increased acidity of the stomach, which is a manifestation of toxicosis, can increase the secretion of saliva during the bearing of a child. Concomitant manifestations in this case are nausea, vomiting.

During pregnancy, increased salivation can also be caused by vitamin deficiency and weakened immunity against this background. This can be prevented by good nutrition and the intake of vitamin and mineral complexes from the very beginning of pregnancy, and ideally before it occurs.

Considering hypersalivation as a direct sign of pregnancy is a mistake.

To eliminate increased salivation in an adult or child, you first need to find out its cause. To do this, you need to go to an appointment with a therapist. After studying the complaints, initial examination and examination, he will prescribe the necessary therapy or refer him to a narrower specialist - a gastroenterologist, neuropathologist, endocrinologist, or others.

Depending on the cause of hypersalivation, treatment by a dentist may be required to correct the bite, therapy for helminthiasis or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and other pathologies.

If excessive salivation is caused by neurological disorders or ischemic stroke, then in addition to eliminating the underlying disease, facial massage and physiotherapy exercises are indicated.

Of the drugs, the production of saliva is suppressed by anticholinergics - Scopolamine, Platifillin, Riabal. Their possible side effects are increased heart rate, decreased visual acuity, and dry mouth.

At the discretion of the treating physician, other methods may be used to reduce or block salivation:

Partial removal of the salivary glands;
Radiation therapy;
Injection of Botox into the salivary glands;
Cryotherapy course;
Homeopathic treatment, for example, the use of tablets or injections of Mercurius Heel, indicated for inflammation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory apparatus, diseases of the glands, abscess of the tonsils.

Perhaps there is no need to explain what the process of salivation implies. The oral cavity is filled with secretion produced by the salivary glands.

Reflex actions are not controlled by a person, but under the influence of various factors and due to certain conditions of the body, the amount of saliva secreted can greatly increase, which serves as a signal of malfunctions in the functioning of organs and vital systems.

Most people themselves notice that they have increased salivation. In medicine, this phenomenon is called hypersalivation. In a healthy person, the normal level of salivation is 2 mg every 10 minutes. But when a person is sick, or his condition simply changes, salivation can either increase or decrease.

Causes of strong salivation

What does it mean? When saliva is secreted very abundantly, that is, more than this may be enough, they speak of an increased separation, or the so-called hypersalivation.

There are several factors that can be contributing to the development of such a state:

the use of certain drugs, a side effect of which may be increased salivation;
disorder of metabolic processes;
neurological diseases;
acute poisoning or toxic infections;
otorhinolaryngological pathologies.

The causes of increased salivation in adults are usually associated with diseases of the digestive system and neurological disorders, and the causes of increased salivation in children are with acute respiratory viral infections and chronic diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, adenoiditis, sinusitis, otitis media). Increased salivation in children under one year is most often the norm.

Causes of increased salivation in adults

Hypersalivation or increased salivation in adults is always a pathology. An increase in the amount of saliva can be caused by diseases of the oral cavity, gastrointestinal tract, taking certain medications, and other reasons.

Increased salivation always accompanies infectious and inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity and pharynx- , periodontitis, . This is a protective reaction of the body, which allows timely removal of infectious agents, their toxins and tissue decay products from the oral cavity. Strong salivation in this case develops in response to mechanical irritation of the nerve endings of the oral cavity.
Various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract also cause strong salivation in adults. It can be either, acute or erosion. In most patients, the amount of saliva secreted per day increases markedly. It is important to know that diseases of the pancreas, for example, also intensely stimulate the salivary glands.
Involuntary salivation occurs with facial paralysis(this may be), in this case, a person cannot swallow at all, even liquid food.
Various mental disorders or stress significantly stimulate hypersalivation. However, it should be noted that this reason is not so common. Increased salivation may be a symptom of CNS disease. This is due to the fact that the muscles that are involved in the act of swallowing are weakened. This pathology leads to the fact that the patient is not able to swallow the entire amount of saliva produced. Hypersalivation is the first sign of Parkinson's disease.
Inflammation of the salivary glands or mumps- an infectious disease characterized by inflammation of the salivary glands. Inflammation of the parotid salivary glands leads to the fact that the patient's face and neck swell and increase in size, which is why the disease is called "mumps".
Deviations in the work of the thyroid gland. Hormonal imbalance can stimulate increased salivation, i.e. disturbance in the production of hormones. This often occurs in people who have problems with the functioning of the thyroid gland. , which refers to endocrinological diseases, also sometimes leads to hypersalivation.
Mechanical irritations. This can include dentures, dental procedures, chewing gum, candy, and any foreign body that can irritate your mouth.
Side effects of drugs. Some pharmaceuticals may have the side effect of increased salivation. The most common such effects are nitrazepam, pilocarpine, muscarine, physostigmine, and lithium.
Pregnancy. In women in this position, heartburn may be the cause of excessive salivation.

If saliva remains on your pillow after a night's sleep, there is no need to worry: sometimes salivation occurs before you wake up. People then say that a person is sweet, which means that he slept soundly. But if you are worried about strong discharge, it is better to consult a doctor who, after analyzing saliva, will determine the real cause of hypersalivation.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis consists in carrying out the following medical measures:

Depending on the results of the diagnosis, an effective treatment for excessive salivation will be selected. It must be understood that treatment without identifying obvious causes is almost impossible.

How to treat increased salivation in adults

In case of increased salivation, treatment in adults should be started by contacting a therapist, understanding that the fact of active salivation is a signal of abnormal body functioning. The therapist, in turn, if necessary, will give a referral for a consultation with a narrower specialist.

Depending on the underlying cause, specialists can prescribe a treatment related specifically to it, that is, they do not treat the hypersalivation itself, but eliminate the problem that led to its occurrence. Perhaps these will be dental, gastroenterological, neurological or other methods.

Sometimes, in particularly critical cases, doctors may prescribe a specific treatment that acts specifically on profuse salivation:

The method of removing (selective) salivary glands. This can in some cases lead to disruption of the facial nerves.
Radiation therapy as a way to scar the salivary ducts,
Massage of the face and exercise therapy is used for neuralgic disorders,
To temporarily block the overactive salivary glands, they may be injected with botulinum toxin.
Cryotherapy. A long-term method of treatment that allows you to increase the frequency of swallowing saliva at a reflex level.
Anticholinergic drugs how to get rid of hypersalivation (scopolamine, riabal, platifillin and others). They suppress excessively strong production of saliva.

In adults, the main treatment for severe salivation is to bring the salivary glands to normal work. Thus, with hypersalivation, all acute and chronic diseases should be cured, since they are most likely to provoke profuse salivation.
