I have been drooling a lot these days, which may be caused by the following reasons:
1. Oral problems: Oral inflammation, such as stomatitis, glossitis, periodontitis, oral ulcers, etc., can stimulate salivary glands and lead to increased saliva secretion. Especially when oral hygiene is improper and bacteria grow, it is more likely to cause oral inflammation. Dental problems, such as the emergence of baby teeth, misaligned teeth, dental caries, etc., may also stimulate salivary glands, leading to excessive salivation.
2. Digestive system issues: Reflux diseases, such as reflux esophagitis, can cause stomach acid to reflux into the mouth, stimulating salivary gland secretion and resulting in increased salivation. Gastric diseases, such as gastritis and gastric ulcers, may also affect the secretion of salivary glands.
3. Other factors: Neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy, etc., which may affect neural regulation and lead to abnormal salivary gland secretion. Bad habits: such as maintaining a bad posture of supporting the cheeks for a long time, may compress the cheek glands and lead to increased saliva secretion. External stimuli, such as food and light, may also cause an increase in saliva secretion.
The above are only possible reasons, not absolute. If the condition of increased saliva persists or is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention in a timely manner so that doctors can diagnose and treat according to the specific situation.
