Slightly embarrassing...

Due to a deviated septum, increased congestion, and shortness of breath, I am a big mouth breather, at night. Because of this, I find I drool all over the place.:( Anyone else w this issue, and is there anything I can do? Thanks.

Maybe try a saline nasal rinse too? Might help clear the congestion?  If you've tried that...well prop yourself up a bit more, put a small soft towel on top of your pillow and know your beautiful no matter how you breathe at night :)

Look up Protect a Bed products. They are light, breathable waterproof covers for your bed and pillows. They have been a godsend for me and my family.

I've been a mouth breather lately too, and the drool is also a common occurrence on my pillow. I try to prop up more at night and that seems to help with the drool and the congestion.
