Excessive salivation following EC

Hi Shaz T, what a really frustrating side effect, though I must admit I haven't heard of that before.  I noticed your post had slipped down the site as it is busy on here today so my reply will bump it back up and I hope someone who has experienced this will be along soon. I hope the side effects are beginning to ease for you

Hi Shaz T,

I too had excess saliva during my chemo. Unfortunately, I didn’t managed to find anything to stop it and ended up doing much the same as you. I put it down to your body automatically producing more saliva when you are going to be sick to protect your teeth from stomach acid. You could try rich tea biscuits as they make your mouth dry and are easy to eat when you are feeling sick. I would also try to drink water which isn’t ice cold as that can hit your stomach and make you feel sick. Sorry not to have a solution. Mine settled down hopefully yours will too.  Take care

Thankyou Irishgirl16 xx

Thankyou Maxwell 3

Will try rich tea biscuits though I am finding anything sweet is making the sickness worse

i really hope it does settle 

blessed week everyone xx

Hi Shaz ,Ginger biscuits worked really well for me as they dried my mouth and eased the nausea .xxx
