#Healthwire: Talk to Your Doctor About Medications

If you suspect that a medication can be the cause for your drooling, consult a doctor and suggest switching to another medication with fewer side effects. In case your drooling is indeed excessive and it causes a serious problem, talk to your doctor about getting medications that reduce production of saliva by the glands.

However, what if none of the above helps? In that case, doing your best to prevent the drool-stained pillows is the only option you are left with. You can do this by wrapping the pillow in an absorbent cloth before bedtime and take it off the next morning. This is a good way to avoid washing the pillow cases every day. But, if putting absorbent cloth over the pillow doesn’t sound good for you, then washing the pillowcase is the ultimate solution. The good news is that the method presented below is very simple, effective, and capable of bringing your icky pillow to a fresh life!
