what does it mean when your drooling a lot
Hypersalivation
title: Drooling text: Drooling Drooling, or slobbering, is the flow of saliva outside the mouth. Drooling can be caused by excess production of saliva, inability to retain saliva within the mouth (incontinence of saliva), or problems with swallowing (dysphagia or odynophagia). There are some frequent and harmless cases of drooling. For instance, a numbed mouth from either Orajel, or when going to the dentist office. Isolated drooling in healthy infants and toddlers is normal and may be associated with teething. It is unlikely to be a sign of disease or complications. Drooling in infants and young children may be exacerbated by upper respiratory title: Drooling text: neurological disorders or undiagnosed developmental delay. Excessive drooling seems to be due to: Treatment of excessive drooling addresses its cause: The scope of the meaning of the term "drool" in popular use has expanded to include any occasion wherein someone highly desires something, as well as derivative terms indicating sexual arousal; for example the slang "grool" is a blend of "girl" and "drool".

Drooling can be caused by excess production of saliva, inability to retain saliva within the mouth (incontinence of saliva), or problems with swallowing (dysphagia or title: Hypersalivation text: Hypersalivation Hypersalivation (also called ptyalism or sialorrhea) is excessive production of saliva. It has also been defined as increased amount of saliva in the mouth, which may also be caused by decreased clearance of saliva. Hypersalivation can contribute to drooling if there is an inability to keep the mouth closed or difficulty in swallowing the excess saliva (dysphagia), which can lead to excessive spitting. Hypersalivation also often precedes emesis (vomiting), where it accompanies nausea (a feeling of needing to vomit). Conditions that can cause saliva overproduction include: Medications that can cause overproduction of saliva include: Substances that can cause hypersalivation title: Drooling text: infections and nasal allergies. Some people with drooling problems are at increased risk of inhaling saliva, food, or fluids into the lungs, especially if drooling is secondary to a neurological problem. However, if the body's normal reflex mechanisms (such as gagging and coughing) are not impaired, this is not life-threatening. Drooling or sialorrhea can occur during sleep. It is often the result of open-mouth posture from CNS depressants intake or sleeping on one's side. Sometimes while sleeping, saliva does not build up at the back of the throat and does not trigger the normal swallow reflex, leading to the condition. title: Snatiation text: Snatiation Snatiation is a term coined in jest to refer to the medical condition originally termed "stomach sneeze reflex", which is characterized by uncontrollable bursts of sneezing brought on by fullness of the stomach, typically immediately after a large meal. Other known causes include chocolate and strong mint. It is reported, based on a prelimininary study, to be passed along genetically as an autosomal dominant trait, as first described by Ahmad Teebi and Qasem Al-Saleh in 1989. The term "snatiation", coined shortly thereafter in a humorous letter to the "Journal of Medical Genetics" by Judith G. Hall, is a portmanteau
