A member asked:

When sleeping i'm producing a lot of saliva and it goes out of my mouth and therefore touching the pillow etc. how can i get rid of this problem? thx

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drooling: If your drooling, that means your mouth is open, that can mean that you are unable to breathe well from your nose. So if you have nasal congestion and you snore, you need to get that fixed, see an allergist or ENT for that.
