Drooling is usually harmless, but in some cases, it may be linked to underlying issues, especially if itās excessive or new.
For example, certain conditions that affect muscle control or nervesālike sleep apneaācan sometimes be associated with mouth breathing and drooling.
You may want to pay attention if you also have:
- Loud snoring
- Choking or gasping during sleep
- Daytime fatigue
- Difficulty swallowing
