What's wrong with drooling while sleeping

Drooling while sleeping may be caused by incorrect sleeping posture or weak spleen and stomach. In addition, the factor of dental deformity cannot be ruled out. Therefore, it is necessary to make a comprehensive judgment based on the patient's physical condition, identify the specific cause, and actively make improvements.

1. Incorrect sleeping posture: Drooling while sleeping may be caused by incorrect sleeping posture. For example, sleeping in a side-lying position or lying on one's stomach for a long time will affect the side cheeks, which will lead to excessive saliva secretion in the mouth, causing drooling while sleeping.

2. Weak spleen and stomach: Drooling while sleeping may also be caused by a weak spleen and stomach. For example, frequently eating spicy or greasy food will increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, which will affect the normal metabolism of the spleen and stomach, and then cause drooling while sleeping. You can take spleen-strengthening and dampness-eliminating drugs under the guidance of a doctor to help improve the condition, or you can take coix seed tea orally to help eliminate dampness.

3. Dental deformity: Drooling while sleeping may also be caused by dental deformity. The patient's teeth are deformed, which will cause the teeth to protrude outside the mouth, thus causing drooling. Wearing braces can correct the teeth and improve drooling while sleeping.
