Excessive salivation caused by neurological dysfunction in the salivary control system may be alleviated with medications such as oryzanol, mecobalamin, or vitamin B complex, as prescribed by a physician. If excessive salivation results from oral ulcers, ulcer-adhesive patches and oral vitamin B2 may be used under medical supervision to relieve symptoms. When gingivitis or pain from oral ulcers stimulates increased salivation, management typically involves controlling gingival inflammation and treating the oral ulcers to improve the condition of hypersalivation.
