View allI'm noticing that I've been producing a lot more saliva recently, and I'm not sure why this is happening. I also tend to drink a lot of water throughout the day. Could these be related, or should I be concerned about something else going on with my health?
Excessive saliva production, also known as hypersalivation or sialorrhea, can be caused by various factors, including drinking excessive water, which can stimulate saliva production; other possible reasons include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), oral infections, hormonal changes, anxiety, or certain medications; consider consulting a dentist or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss ways to manage excessive saliva production.

I'm really worried about my dad, he's 54 and has been dealing with a fatty liver and jaundice for about a month now. I noticed that his SGOT level is 65. Do you think he can safely take Ecosprin tablets with these conditions? I'm just trying to figure out what's best for him.
Your father should not take Ecosprin tablet as it can worsen his liver condition. Instead, he can take Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) at a dosage of 300mg to help improve his liver function and reduce the symptoms of jaundice. Additionally, he can take Vitamin E supplements to support his liver health. It is important for him to follow up with his doctor regularly for monitoring and management of his fatty liver disease.
