I wonder if this could be improved with exercise?
I did a lot of facial exercises after a stroke and think I'd give it a go if I were you. It may just be some muscle weakness... (and who doesn't have a bit if that)!?

Me as well especially when I don’t want it to happen, so I did buy some pretty handkerchiefs from EBay and I keep one handy. I remember seeing old ladies dribbling when I was a child and white on the corner of their mouth, it would never happen to me of course, tough titty it did and whiskers as well, Oh the joys of getting old 🤦‍♀️🌷

I find myself doing the same thing when I'm doing something that I'm concentrating on especially cleaning jobs! My excuse is that I'm 81!

I have started dribbling. !! When I am relaxed or watching TV or just listening to someone talking , I am aware of dribbling from the sides of my mouth , I keep dabbing my mouth with a tissue. , it doesn’t help that I have marionette lines that makes a channel for the dribble. I used to watch my Gran doing the same but she always had a hanky in er hand, now I know why,
I am turning into my Gran !,
