A member asked:
My 13 year old son drools a lot while sleeping, has been drooling since he was a baby, has no disorder or any condition just seems to have excessive saliva, what could be the cause?

Inbox consultation: Healthtap offers an inbox consultation service. Please check her tonsilar size and consider uploading a photo of the posterior pharynx. If there is crowding, sometimes drooling may occur. Chronic nasal congestion, GERD, and salivary gland conditions should also be considered. Monitor her temperature and please follow up with her pediatrician.
