Hi doctor,
2 today, my tongue pushed out a lot of saliva which made me very uncomfortable. I have to swallow saliva all the time and it doesn't go away. I went to the pharmacy and they said I had acid reflux. I've been drinking for 2 days now and I don't feel any better, I always have a lot of saliva in my mouth. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of excessive salivation in the mouth? Thank you doctor.

Answered by Doctor Department of Medical Examination & Internal Medicine, Vinmec Hai Phong International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question "What is the cause of excessive saliva in the mouth?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
A lot of saliva in the mouth is a symptom of gastroesophageal reflux. You do not provide the doctor with information about the medicine you are taking, so the doctor cannot give you accurate advice. For drugs that reduce acid secretion (proton pump inhibitors) achieve peak effect after 3 days, in addition, it is also necessary to adjust the lifestyle: Do not use tea, coffee, chocolate, mint, tobacco, etc. ... If you take the drug for about 1 week along with adjusting your lifestyle but it doesn't help, you should see a Gastroenterologist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about the mouth producing a lot of saliva, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
