The autoimmune disease Sjogren's syndrome causes damage to moisture producing glands of the body. This can result in difficulty swallowing food and decreased saliva.
When lying down, gravity causes saliva to pool at the back of the mouth, leading to the sensation of decreased saliva production. This can make swallowing difficult due to the accumulation of saliva in the throat. Additionally, certain medical conditions or medications can also affect saliva production, leading to dry mouth or difficulty swallowing. It's advisable to seek medical advice if this issue persists.
Excessive spitting while recovering from a brain injury can be due to dysfunction in the swallowing reflex, leading to difficulty managing saliva. It may also be caused by damage to the nerves that control saliva production and swallowing.

Not sure why you're drooling... If you're having difficulty swallowing and the saliva is just collecting in your mouth, go see your piercer. You may just be swelling a lot if its an oral piercing but it shouldnt be that bad. If its your lip, tongue or anything else around your mouth, try sucking on ice or just holding cold water in your mouth to help with swelling. If that doesnt help, just go see your piercer.

Yes it can be dangerous but, then again it might not be. I had a cyst on my uvula before I had it removed and the doctor said it was harmless. It would be best if you got it checked out though.
