Too Much Saliva

Drooling and excess saliva is a natural result of the difficulty swallowing from dysphagia. People naturally swallow saliva constantly throughout the day, so the inability to do that can cause saliva to build up in the mouth.

While this may not seem like a serious symptom, it can be a sign that dysphagia could progress into something worse. It can be embarrassing or difficult to discuss excess saliva with a physician, but that can make it especially important to bring to a doctor's attention.
