Has anyone had the horrendous symptom of excessive salvia? & have you been able to find any medication to help/ prevent this?

I kept mints on me at all times only thing that help other than sour candy n constantly brushing my teeth, eventually the excessive saliva went away

How do you guys manage at work? My sickness has eased massively so I’m thinking to return next month but I can’t be spitting in a cup every minute 😅

I’m not well enough yet to return to work I have been off for 11 weeks, I don’t even know how I would cope going back. I’m still vomiting although not every day the nausea is still there and the headaches and now I have to spit every minute. Can you gradually ease your way back into it? Pretend your spit cup is a coffee and you are taking sips when you are spitting out x

I’ve been off sick I was 6 weeks and I’m now 22 weeks, I thought I’d never return lol. I’m sorry you still have strong symptoms!

I only work 3 days a week but I work in the baby room at a nursery so it’s quite physically demanding and I can’t use the coffee cup as a disguise unfortunately 👎

Thankfully, I haven’t discussed my return to work with my manager so there’s no pressure to return yet, I’ll just see how I get on over the next few weeks
