Excessive saliva usually not a sign of any disease. Most commonly it occurs due to lack of frequent swallowing which normally occurs involuntaryly.

Kindly advise him swallow frequently so that saliva does not get collected. Voluntary swallowing is only treatment in most of the milder cases of excessive salivation
