Hello Dr, whenever I sleep and wake up the next day, there's always saliva in my mouth, what's the cause and what should I do to prevent it. Thank you!

Ans: Hello
Hypersalivation (excessive saliva production) can be caused by many factors. To find the root cause of your condition these factors will have to be systematically ruled out.
For a start, you could try switching your sleeping position and check if saliva still accumulates in your mouth. Like when you sleep on your back, for instance.
Next would be to consult your dentist to rule out tooth decay or gum infection. If that is ruled out you should consult your General Physician to check for other infections, allergies, other underlying conditions like acid reflux, respiratory infection, etc
The underlying cause, once determined, can easily be treated.
