A member asked:
I finished my 7 day antibiotics for intestine infection three days ago. when will the excessiive saliva side effect go away? help!

Not antibiotic: Most medications will cause a decrease in the amount of saliva you have. What you are noticing may be an entirely different problem altogether, especially if you have not taken the antibiotic for several days. You may need to talk to your doctor or dentist to look for a different cause.

See below: If this is a 'side effect' of the medication, it should have subsided by now. The drug clearance from your body should be complete if three days have elapsed. Another source may be causing a problem like this. Look for other causative factors.
