        @kimmi Hypersalivation, also known as sialorrhea or ptyalism, is when a person has too much saliva in their mouth. It can result in saliva from the mouth spilling over the bottom lip, known as drooling. Hypersalivation can be the result of:
        excessive saliva production
        an inability to effectively swallow or clear saliva from the mouth
        difficulty keeping the mouth closed
        Causes of excessive saliva production, leading to hypersalivation, include:
        morning sickness or nausea during pregnancy
        sinus, throat, or peritonsillar infections
        poisonous spider bites, reptile venom, and poisonous mushrooms
        false teeth
        ulcers, inflammation, or pain in the mouth
        Some causes of hypersalivation may clear up over time without treatment. Such causes include pregnancy, anxiety, and minor injuries.
        Other causes can pose more serious medical challenges. This category includes neurological causes and nerve disorders.
