Excess salivation

2018-03-11 08:57:38
My mother is having excess salivation from past 6-8 months. Earlier she was having mouth ulcers also, but we have visited ENT, Gastroenterologist, Physician and everyone has diagnosed her with mouth ulcers, depression etc and she has been taking those medicines. Ulcers went away but salivation still continues. Please help us to diagnose the problem so that she is not taking the medicines unnecessarily.
