Change diet: Too much saliva is usually not something to worry about unless it persists. It's normal to make more or less saliva depending on what you eat or drink. Your body usually takes care of excess saliva by swallowing more. You can make too much saliva if: •One or more salivary gland is overactive •problems swallowing Acidic foods tend to trigger a lot more saliva than sweet foods. Diet change can help

See your PCP: The three major causes of excessive salivation are: pregnancy, excessive starch intake and GERD. See your PCP for evaluation and tests.
