Drooling in Parkinson’s is common - and often misunderstood.
It’s not about making too much saliva.
It’s about swallowing less often.
In this week’s Pearls for Parkinson’s: Tips for Daily Living with Parkinson's, I’m talking about:
- Why drooling happens
- The role of slowed swallowing
- Practical strategies you can use right away
- When to involve speech therapy
- Treatment options if it becomes more disruptive
This is a topic many people hesitate to talk about - but understanding it restores confidence.
Small adjustments can make a meaningful difference.
