I seem to be generating excessive amounts of saliva to the point where I need a disposable cup to kinda drool it into every couple of minutes. This makes sleeping kinda hard and so I’m wondering is there a trick? I had to make a sort of makeshift bib out of a towel just to combat this last night and that allowed me to get a few hours but man was it uncomfortable. Any advice?
Edit: the excessive saliva finally went away last night. Appreciate all of your help
I’d try to lay on your side without pressure directly on your extraction sites. When i was healing through mine i did that while inclined at a 45°. It’ll be gross, but that’ll let you drool while not aggravating the site and hopefully still get some rest.
Doing that + the pain medication got me through mine. Obligatory im not your doctor, consult them for any questions.
Good luck!
