In general, it is not necessary to treat drooling in sleep in isolation. If it occurs rarely, it may be annoying, but does not require treatment. It won’t lead to dehydration, infection, or other problems.It may be helpful to treat nasal congestion if this is present. If other symptoms of sleep apnea are present, evaluation for this condition may help with nighttime breathing and drooling.When secondary to other medical conditions that impair swallowing, prescription medications such as atropine drops or scopolamine patches are sometimes used.2 If you are concerned about chronic drooling on your pillow, speak with your doctor to see if you need further evaluation and treatment.
The last resort is to explore surgery. It’s only recommended when there’s an incurable neurological condition responsible for the drool. The most common method is to remove the salivary glands.
