Hi Delly, Kris too found that after his total Glossectomy he had excess secretions and used to dribble a lot. He still , more than 3 years later , has to wipe his mouth dry with a tissue/ hanky. He also rinses frequently with a salt baking soda mixture, but these days often rinses with a soda drink such as lemonade. It is certainly better than it used to be.Kris went from the very dry mouth after his faction to this very wet mouth now. Not having a tongue to sweep the oral cavity and aid swallowing makes this difficult.
Best wishes to you both,
Tammy
