Inflammation around : Saliva is secreted by salivary glands which are present all around the oral cavity. The trigger is any irritant to the nerve endings in the region, such as by inflammation/infection of the mouth, tongue, throat, tonsils, sinuses etc. Ear infection may also do that. Increase fluid intake to compensate for lost saliva/water
