Sandy,

I have already received 4 shots of Ethyol and no side effects. The RN told me that the worse effect is nausea, but so far so good. I don't know if the shots will help with salivia after treatment, but I am willing to give it a try with positive hope.
Ask your Dr about it, maybe it will work for you.
