Excessive Saliva In Mouth Whilst Sleeping Posted: 05-07-07 12:37pm
Help! I have a really embarassing problem,
whilst I am sleeping a lot of saliva
gathers in my mouth and runs down my mouth
and onto my clothes and pillow case making
a horrible mess of both.
Is it drooling,or does this condition have
another medical terminology?
This condition has been affecting me a for
long period of time,
any help to alleviate my condition will be
gratefully appreciated.

Hi Posted: 05-09-07 18:09pm
Just found your post, I can't believe no
one has at least written to say HELLO.....
I call this drooling as I have awaken on
several occasions and found I "slept with
my mouth open again" pillow soaked in one
spot. I do know of several other people
who have had this happen. As for if this
is a medical condition, I can't help on
that. Hope you find an answer!

Did it begin after a visit to a doctor or
is it something new?
Usually every individual produces saliva
all the time and by reflex will swallon
unconsciosly. This is essential to the
function of the oral mucous membrane. Your
problem might be that u produce too much
saliva due to a certain medication. In
this case, u should see the doctor who was
prescribing u the medication.
Maybe u should consult an ENT specilist to
get ur saliva tested.
Try to remember the first time this
phenomennon occurred for the first time
and whether there are some correlations to
visits to a doctor.
