Hypersecretions: You have hypersecretions of saliva. There a variety of reasons that can cause the condition. Reflux is one reason, poor oral hygiene is another. Your allergies may be a third reason.

GERD: See your MD. It sounds like effects of acid reflex. It is irritating but can become serious likes Barrett’s.
