What is the reason for drooling or holding saliva while sleeping every day?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
I take a nap every day, and when I come down in the morning, I always have a mouthful of saliva. I often drool when I'm sleeping, and the saliva has a bad smell by morning. It's been this way for seven or eight years. I've had cavities since I was a child. Is there a connection?

Doctor's answer:

1. Oral diseases. Drooling while sleeping, a salty taste, and a light yellow pillowcase are likely due to poor oral hygiene.
2. Facial nerve palsy or stroke. If drooling while sleeping reappears suddenly after exposure to cold air, facial chilling, or a fever, be alert. It is recommended to seek immediate medical examination.
3. Incorrect napping posture. The above suggestions are for the issue of "drooling or holding saliva while taking a nap daily." Hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
