Drooling during sleep

2020-11-25 12:42:11
Hello doctors, I am 33 yr old male, I have a problem of drooling during sleep, no other problems. Are there any medicine for drooling? Any tests or anything else to be done? Drooling happens only during sleep, not otherwise, never when awake.

Do you have loss of teeth or any gum condition? If firmness of mouth is affected then during sleep this slack jaw can lead to drooling.
