Bearded dragon drooling

Hello, today we noticed upon waking our dragon up he had a water droplet on his mouth. After taking the picture we wiped it and it was slimy assuming drool. I have never noticed him drooling in sleep before and don’t know if or how I should address it. As for his overall health and attitude I will say that about a week ago he had a bath and might have aspirated some water because when he got out he was making a weazing/sneezing sound. This lasted just a few seconds and he’s been acting normal since. Past week he has been hiding a lot but comes out for food. I just introduced him to super worms but only as a treat he hasn’t ate much salad lately. Last night he was going bezerk running all over his tank. Made a super watery poop and was just making a mess. I took him out for a second but it was cold and he was wet so we put him back in after about 5 minutes he did at one point jump off the couch and fall but no injury was noticed. Therefore with the bath incident, water poop, falling off couch, is this little drip of drool a cause for emergency action?

Listen for wheezing crackling - black bearding- mucous out the nose - and more drooling - any of this I would recommend a vet visit- could be a sign of RI-- the running around after pooping is normal

Is the drooling normal it was a small amount just like one droplet on his lip
