    Excess saliva causing cough/choke while awake
    I've been coughing from an excess of saliva that gathers at the back of my throat. This happens both when I'm asleep and awake. I recently had a virus with a cough, so when I went back to my doctor after it not going away for a month, they prescribed an inhaler. It isn't helping because I determined it isn't my lungs that's causing my current cough, but the collection of saliva in the back of my throat. I have no problem swallowing, but it just seems my saliva glands are secreting more for some reason. Not sure what I can do about this. Everything else feels fine. Don't have heartburn or stomach issues currently. This is causing me to sometimes choke on small food particles too and causing embarrassment in social situations. Please help.
