In addition to stigmatizing social effects, drooling can macerate the skin around the mouth and chin, cause foul odors, and soil clothing and furniture. Severe droolers are at risk for laryngeal irritation, aspiration pneumonia, and depletion of body fluids. Treatment should substantially reduce the effects of drooling without adding new clinically significant symptoms. Reduced secretion afforded easier and more successful attempts at swallowing residual saliva.
