A member asked:

Saliva is building up in my mouth and i need to swallow every few seconds, i do not know if this could be because i conciously think about it. is ther medication that can reduce saliva production in my mouth as my throat feels raw from swallowing :?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Oral health: It would be prudent to see a dentist for evaluation of oral health. Gum disease can induce salivation. Wish you good health!
