Hi

Just wanted to ask about excessive salavia. My mum has been complaining of the over the past few days of this and she has been trying to spit this out. She is in the final stages of MS. She has also been complaining that she feels as though she is being choked and she then gets very anxious and starts to sweat. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hi Sharon

Sorry to hear your Mum is experiencing this problem, but I do believe there is medication to help with excess saliva.

Maybe worth having a word with her GP, ms nurse or neuro.

Wishing you all the best.

Hi Sharon,

I agree with Pam, I think your GP, MS nurse or neurologist would help you. It’s not something I’ve had a problem with but I do hope someone will help your mum.

Very best wishes,

Nina
