Feeding Swallowing Disorders

• The first and foremost reason for drooling is a
  difficulty in swallowing that is due to stroke or
  some neurological disorders like Bells Palsy and
  Parkinsons Disease. Also called dysphagia, it
  creates problem in swallowing. Stroke can lead to
  anomaly in blood flow to the brain and when it is
  not treated, your nervous system will go for a
  toss and therefore, you will end up with
  difficulty in swallowing along with excessive
  drooling.

Certain Allergies and Infections

• More often than not, when your body has an
  allergy to something or has an infection, it
  tends to the production of more saliva. This is
  an automated reaction to flush all the toxins out
  and therefore, you will end up drooling. If you
  have seasonal allergies, make it a pint to treat
  it without any delay.

Pharyngitis and Tonsillitis

• When you have trouble in swallowing due to a pain
  in your throat, it can be due to a condition
  called pharyngitis or sore throat. This will
  cause red and white patches on the throat,
  swollen glands, accompanied by fever. The
  decrease in swallowing will increase saliva
  production and therefore, it will come out during
  your sleep as a drool.

Sleep Apnea

• Last but not the least, sleep apnea also leads to
  drooling when you are sleeping. It happens
  because there is irregular breathing during your
  sleeping hours. However, sleeping on the back may
  curb it to an extent. If this is the root cause
  of drooling, you need to book an appointment with
  your physician without further delay.
