Drooling
Hello,
I want to know wether this condition I have is just me and my son or any other person is experiencing the same problem.I drool since i .
was 12 and the saliva has this horrible smell with a whitish substance.I thought it was due to the dryness of my throat especially in the night but my 9 year old son started experiencing the same thing when he turned 8.Is it genetic?it is so embarassing.Can we get help?I want to hear from anybody having a similar problem.
Thank you.

Thank you for your question. Drooling also known as ptyalism or sialorrhea can be associated with a number of different medical conditions and some of them run in families. You may want to discuss your symptoms with your doctor to help determine the cause.
