Many people think that only children drool, but adults do. In general, we don't drool when we fall asleep. If we often have this phenomenon, it means that the body is deficient in kidney qi and yang deficiency. The so-called "yang" refers to the functional state of the body. People with yang deficiency have insufficient muscle elasticity and are easy to relax, so they will open their mouths after falling asleep and form saliva outflow. Of course, if you have a cold and a stuffy nose and have to open your mouth to breathe, that is another matter.

If you often drool when you sleep, you'd better pay more attention to your health and adjust it in time.

On weekdays, you can eat more tonics for strengthening the spleen and tonifying the kidney, such as lotus seeds, gordon euryales and yam. If there is no dry mouth and bitter taste, Codonopsis pilosula can be added.

Drooling during sleep may be caused by some "minor problems", which need everyone's attention.

First of all, it may be improper sleeping position. Like sleeping on your desk and sleeping on your side, it is easy to cause drooling.

Secondly, inflammation in the mouth can also promote saliva secretion. If the mouth is infected by bacteria, the pain is obvious and it is easy to drool. It needs local use to promote ulcer healing and drooling will disappear automatically.

Tooth deformity is the third cause of drooling during sleep. Especially in patients with convex tooth deformity, the front teeth are obviously protruding forward, and the lips often show teeth. When sleeping, it is difficult for the lips to completely cover the front teeth, and the upper and lower lips are often naturally separated, which is easy to drool. It is best for such patients to correct their teeth as soon as possible.

In addition to the above oral problems, some systemic diseases may also cause drooling during sleep. Some patients with neurosis or other systemic diseases that may cause autonomic nervous disorders may also have abnormal excitement of parasympathetic nerves during sleep, which may cause the brain to send wrong signals and cause increased saliva secretion.

In addition, one of the side effects of some antibiotics is drooling, so you need to pay attention when choosing antibiotics.

Saliva, medically called saliva, is a colorless, transparent, foamy and slightly turbid liquid. The amount of saliva secretion is similar to that of urine, with an average of about1500ml per day.

Drooling during sleep is generally caused by the following factors:

First, poor oral hygiene: the temperature and humidity in the oral cavity are most suitable for the reproduction of bacteria, and food residues or sugar substances accumulate between the teeth and the tooth surface, which is prone to dental caries and periodontal disease. These bad factors are very irritating, and you will drool when you sleep.

Second, the front teeth are deformed: this may be due to acquired bad habits caused by genetic factors, such as biting nails, sticking out your tongue, biting pencils, etc. , causing the front teeth to deform and drool when sleeping.

Third, neuromodulation disorder: the regulation of saliva secretion is completely reflective. The so-called "looking at plum to quench thirst" is an example of conditioned reflex saliva secretion in daily life. Therefore, the disorder of neuromodulation can also lead to drooling during sleep.

Drooling when sleeping, salty, the pillow towel is pale yellow, probably due to poor oral hygiene, food residue accumulation, more tartar over time, causing gum inflammation, and even a small number of gums. So when sleeping, saliva is salty and light yellow.
