What are the causes of drooling

Do you feel sorry for drooling when you sleep? It's not as simple as being cute or unsanitary. It may be caused by your neuromodulation disorder. The regulation of saliva secretion is completely neuroreflex. It is often said that "looking for plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned saliva secretion in daily life. Drooling in sleep is also a disease. What are the causes of this disease?

The following diseases can cause drooling during sleep:

Facial neuritis

Traditional Chinese medicine reminds that if you have a cold on your face, blow or catch a cold, you may also have drooling when you sleep. At the same time, your eyes may not be closed tightly and the corners of your mouth may be askew.

Remind: facial neuritis should be treated in time after the onset of the disease, early rehabilitation, in order to reduce facial deformity.

Oral diseases

Daily oral care is the key to four seasons health, such as stomatitis, pharyngitis, glossitis, gingivitis and other oral diseases, as well as the stimulation caused by improper dentures, can lead to the elderly drooling.

Reminder: oral disease after ZL, drooling will automatically disappear.

Fatigue, etc

Excessive use of brain or taking some drugs can cause autonomic nerve disorder. When sleeping, parasympathetic nerve may be abnormally excited, which will make the brain send out wrong signals and increase saliva secretion, thus causing drooling during sleep.

gastric diseases

A part of patients with stomach diseases will also appear drooling when they sleep. If there is too much acid in the stomach, ZL should be given in time if there is stomach disease. Patients can choose fructooligosaccharide prebiotics to help maintain the stomach and regulate the balance of intestinal flora. However, we can't take it as soon as it's good. It's not a drug. It's better to take it regularly and quantitatively. It's good to drink yogurt, supplement probiotics or zangling stachyose sooner or later. All these are to supply food for beneficial bacteria in the body and inject new vitality into a better life.

cerebral apoplexy

The elderly suddenly have drooling after sleeping, accompanied by dizziness, headache, crooked mouth, adverse limb movement and other symptoms, which may indicate that they have suffered from stroke.

Reminder: This is the most serious situation, and the condition is likely to develop further, so we need to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Arteriosclerosis

When people are old, their arteries will harden, which may lead to brain and muscle ischemia and hypoxia, resulting in facial muscle relaxation. At the same time, the swallowing function of the elderly is weakened, leading to the phenomenon of drooling during sleep.

Reminder: if the elderly love to drool when they sleep, they should go to the hospital for examination even though there is no skew of mouth or lax eye closure. Focus on whether there are 'three high', that is, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. If so, go to the hospital in time for treatment.
