Advice for excess saliva
One of our members asked if anyone has had experience with this treatment:
“My wife has excess saliva and her MD has suggested irradiating the Parotid glands to cut down the saliva. She no longer eats orally and is fed through a G tube, so the mouth is no longer being used for ingestion. the sublingual glands will not be touched. Do you have anyone with experience concerning this treatment?

My wife has Atropine drops, a Scopalamine patch, had a Glycopyrate port in her chest. The only thing that works a bit is the Atropine drops. We have this strong suction machine to draw out the saliva in her lungs that I use about 3 times a day. She claims this helps. As she is non-verbal it is often difficult the understand her.
