Detailed explanation-1: -A watery mouth, also called hypersalivation, sialorrhea, or ptyalism is a condition marked by excess saliva. Nausea can be accompanied by increased salivation, aversion to certain foods, and excessive swallowing. A watery mouth can have a medical cause that may also cause nausea, among other gastric symptoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anterior sialorrhea is when patients have excessive anterior or forward spillage of saliva from their mouths, commonly called drooling, onto their faces and clothes causing difficulty with cleanliness, skin care, and socialization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sialorrhea (drooling or excessive salivation) is a common problem in neurologically impaired children (i.e., those with mental retardation or cerebral palsy) and in adults who have Parkinson’s disease or have had a stroke. It is most commonly caused by poor oral and facial muscle control.

Detailed explanation-4: -Definition. Nausea is feeling an urge to vomit. It is often called “being sick to your stomach.” Vomiting or throwing-up is forcing the contents of the stomach up through the food pipe (esophagus) and out of the mouth.

Detailed explanation-5: -Since stomach contents are highly acidic, vomiting can be quite harmful for the throat, mouth and teeth and salivating helps to reduce this by diluting and rinsing. Saliva is also weakly alkaline, which helps to neutralise acid.
