I am 3 weeks post-surgery. And I cannot get over how much saliva I am producing. My mouth constantly feels like its watering, really getting annoying. I did not have any radiation or chemo. So my question is just for those without chemo. Is this normal? Can i do anything to alleviate this constant feeling of my mouth watering or salivating (kinda makes my jaws achy)

Thanks!
