Hi @caroljkelso welcome to the Community. I am so sorry you are suffering in this way. I have attached a link that you might find of interest.

https://oxfordhealth.nhs.uk/aslt/resources/swallowing/managing-excess-saliva-and-drooling/

If you go to the Eating, drinking and swallowing section and then click on Managing Saliva leaflet there is some information that might help you.

It is not something I suffer from myself so I am not able to offer any personal experience.

Take care.
