Put a few drops of organic clove oil on a q-tip and swab your tongue and roof of your mouth. Hope it helps.

Drooling is caused by not swallowing saliva, as and when it accumulates in the mouth. You just have to consciously swallow at regular intervals, It is a pain in the Ass but you soon get used to it.

Use a straw to drink to strengthen your facial muscles, was explained to me

One neurologist suggested chewing gum. His reasoning was that it created even more saliva and the patient would swallow more. Works like a charm for my husband. He uses sugarless gum.

Keep a small fruit pit in your mouth. Cherry pits are best.

I sleep with a cloth in my mouth, to wick out the saliva, because The frequent need to swallow kept me awake. Since I learned the cloth wicks the saliva, I am able to relax and just let the wicking action take over.
