Patient's question:
My friend's grandfather doesn't know why he keeps drooling all day long. He's like some intellectually disabled people who can't control their saliva and often drool without realizing it. But his grandfather is perfectly healthy, there's nothing wrong with him, it's just that his saliva keeps flowing endlessly.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Elderly people with spleen and kidney deficiency can eat more foods that tonify the middle and invigorate qi, such as Chinese yam, red beans, and coix seed. Choosing traditional Chinese massage can also effectively alleviate symptoms. For elderly people who produce excessive saliva due to dentures, it is important to repair the dentures promptly. After wearing them for 1–2 weeks consistently, the symptom of excessive saliva production will gradually disappear.
