The drooling isn't from saliva. Like you it's pretty much of a desert inside of her mouth. She has a hard time swallowing what with the jawbone, floor of her mouth and tongue all removed, rebuilt and otherwise messed with. So when she thinks everything is swallowed back out it comes and she starts wiping away. Since she can't feel anything she keeps wiping all the time to make sure. Because of the major eating problems she has chosen not to remove her feeding tube and is still taking two cans of ENSURE Plus everday, but continues to lose weight. I will tell her to try the Aloe vera, and hope she mentions it to her doctor next week when she is getting her monthly check up and maybe he can suggest something too.
Thanks for the suggestions.
