Hello,
With the question “Gastroesophageal reflux causes excess saliva, what to do? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Increased salivation can have many causes, including gastroesophageal reflux. Therefore, you need to find the cause for treatment.
If you have been treated for acid reflux without any relief, you should see your doctor again to find other causes. You can visit a gastroenterologist for specific treatment advice.
If you still have questions about gastroesophageal reflux, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
