My husband recently got conscious of his mouths position and now hes been conscious on his saliva resulting is uncontrollable amount of saliva produced. he cant unthink about it and been having anxiety if he might have an illness. what can we do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A possible impairment of the neuromuscular control of the muscles around the mouth. This leads to drooling and increased salivation. Drink plenty of water, brush teeth ,and use mouthwash. A medication called Cuvposa blocks impulses to the salivary glands resulting in less saliva production.
