How do i treat drooling whilst sleeping at night... it leads to my pillow getting wet at night and that leads to a bad odour from it i tried sleeping on my back but that troubles my post nasal please can advise?

No treatment needed: This isn't a health problem. Drooling during sleep is entirely normal and cannot be prevented or treated. If you're not using a pillow case, start doing so, and launder it frequently.
