I suffer from excessive saliva for 3 years and have had many doctors to see me, ent, gastro,pcp,neurologist and many others not to mention and no medicine to dry me up has helped. Had my submandibular glands removed and still i have the excessive saliva. i dont know what else to do. please let me know if anyone else has had any success. I'm desperate.
Thank You

Wish I could tell you success from me but I suffer from same problem.
I can get so much saliva and phelm in my throat and bronchial tubes that I cough so much it starts to bother my throat and bronchial tubes and thus cough more.
A long time ago I stopped eating dairy. This seemed to help.
Recently I went on Nutrisystem to lose weight and noticed the saliva and phelm was greatly improved. Not sure why but makes me think I was eating something to cause the irritation thus the excess salvia and phelm.
Maybe check the foods you eat. Do you eat spicy foods? Spicy foods are a known cause for extra salvia and phelm. I know dairy was mentioned to me by ENT as a known cause of congestion and I was having a lot of sinus congestion that was draining down my throat.
Wish I could give you the answer you want but I did want to pass on the marked improvement in the saliva and phelm being produced when I eat as soon as I went on Nutrisystem. Not recommending Nutrisystem just that food maybe a cause.
