Homeopathy Medicine for Hypersalivation

Hypersalivation, also known as sialorrhea, refers to excessive salivation.

In most cases, hypersalivation is a symptom of another underlying condition, which may include common, treatable conditions or rare diseases.

The salivary glands in the mouth secrete a clear liquid known as saliva, which contains digestive enzymes and moistens food to make it easier to swallow.

Saliva can act as a barrier against irritants and toxins, prevent dryness, and aid in the healing of wounds and the removal of bacteria from the mouth.

TYPES

Anterior sialorrheais a condition that makes it difficult for patients to keep themselves clean, take care of their skin, and engage in social activities because they drool excessively in the front or anterior direction.

Posterior sialorrheaPatients frequently suffer from a combination of both types of sialorrhea, which is when patients have excessive posterior spillage of saliva from their mouths down their airways (tracheas) rather than being swallowed normally. This causes chronic lung irritation called aspiration which can occasionally progress to pneumonia.

Symptoms

Posterior sialorrhea can be more challenging to understand but may need to be taken into account if the child is constantly clearly choking and coughing or seems to be prone to recurrent episodes of aspiration pneumonia. Anterior sialorrhea is easier to identify because the drooling is readily visible. Often there is constant drooling, with the resultant chronic wet clothing or bibs. Sometimes the drooling is

Causes

• cavities
• infection
• gastroesophageal reflux
• pregnancy
• specific sedatives and anticonvulsants
• toxicity exposure, including mercury

When the underlying condition is treated, hypersalivation in these situations usually disappears as well.

After giving birth, symptoms in pregnant women usually subside.

Regular hypersalivation is typically brought on by long-term medical conditions that impair muscle control, which can interfere with swallowing and cause excessive salivation. These conditions include:

• malocclusion
• enlarged tongue
• intellectual disability
• cerebral palsy
• facial nerve palsy
• Parkinson’s disease
• amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
• stroke

Hypersalivation can impair your ability to speak clearly or swallow food and liquids without choking if left untreated, especially when the cause is chronic.

Diagnosis

The inside of the mouth may be examined by the doctor after reviewing your medical history to check for additional symptoms, such as:

• swelling
• bleeding
• inflammation
• foul odor

HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT

Merc Sol – Top Grade Medicine

First of all, it is indicated when there is copious salivation in case of mouth ulcers, which can appear on the tongue, gums, throat, or inside of the cheek and cause a burning sensation. Merc Sol is a top-listed medication to manage cases of excessive salivation.

A second sign that it should be used is excessive salivation brought on by stomatitis, an infection of the mouth, along with pronounced redness of the entire oral mucosa.

Lyssin – Another Leading Medicine

Lyssin is another well-known medication for treating cases of excessive salivation. People who need it have a constant desire to spit out lots of saliva in their mouth, which may be thick, frothy, slimy, or sticky in texture and make it difficult for them to swallow liquids. It is well-indicated when there is an increased amount of thick saliva along with an inflamed throat, which causes pain and intense heat in the throat.

Baryta Carb – For Inflamed Throat, Tonsils, Salivary Glands

Baryta Carb is an important medication for cases of swollen salivary glands, including parotid and submandibular glands attended with mucus, as well as cases of increased saliva in cases of peritonsillar abscess (quinsy), where the saliva runs out of the mouth while you sleep and there may be accompanying bad odor coming from the mouth.

Silicea – For Excessive Salivation during Teething

It is effective for children who drool excessively while teething, have a difficult time brushing their teeth, sometimes take longer to finish the process, are sensitive to cold, and also perspire foul-smelling sweat on their bodies.

Borax – For Copious Saliva with Mouth Ulcers

The above symptoms may be accompanied by a marked heated sensation in the mouth and a strong thirst for water. This medication is prominently indicated for excessive salivation with ulcers in the mouth and on the tongue.

Iodum – For Inflamed Throat and Tonsils
