Vb.......I really didn't have any drooling problems but that is probably because I don't have a drop of saliva in my mouth! frown Anyway, I was thinking that maybe Aloe vera might be something soothing to put on the irritation on the outside of your Mom's mouth. I use the Aloe vera plant on lots of scrapes, bites, irritations and it works well for me. Aloe vera from the stem of a plant is quite sticky but I don't know if it would remain on your Mom's skin with all the wiping. It's worth a try. Good luck ! SIncerely, Donna
