Please advise.

Saliva has a major digestive and protective function in the mouth. So saliva formation even if perceived as excess is not a problem.Also the bad odour you experience could be very well due to poor oral hygiene.So I would not worry of excessive salivation.You will need to see a dentist about your mouth odour.
Next Steps
Some drugs like pilocarpine,clonazepam,clozapine can also cause excessive salivation.

Dear patient
More saliva is good for your teeth and decreases the chance of cavity. As far as bad mouth odour is concerned. It could be due to inadequate oral hygiene. And lack of regular dental checkup and treatment.
Make sure you brush twice a day , floss once a day and maintain a clean tongue. Please share some more information on your health, like if you have any medical conditions or taking any medicines.
