This COULD be a tumor, cyst, OR it could be a "clogged" salivary gland. I say this because I ( not my cat ) HAD ONE, and it was extremely PAINFUL !! I had to have MY gland removed.
The ONLY way for you to find out what this is, is to get VET help ASAP. If you wait too long before getting help for your cat, the treatment could be more EXTENSIVE AND EXPENSIVE........and she'll be in pain / suffering in the meantime!!
So.......please get her some HELP.......ASAP! She's relying on YOU to TAKE CARE of HER.........
Hope it turns out to be something simple and easily treated. Good luck.

It could be nothing much, just a cyst or infection in her teeth. On the more serious side, it could be a tumour or illness that is causing the problems. I know it is a bank holiday, but she needs to get to an emergency vet asap. If you call your vets then it should have a recorded message telling you where to go in an emergency. If the situation goes on for the next couple of days she may actually be starving, or be in severe pain. I don't know where you live, but in my area I can call my vets 24/7 and if it is out of hours, they direct you to an emergency vet. Good luck, I hope she is all right.

Treating what it *may be* likely won't help. You need to know what it is so you can fix it. No one over the internet (even a vet) can diagnose or recommend treatment for your cat. You need an in person exam done on the cat. Call the vet's emergency number or call an ER clinic. These are open even on holidays.

You need to see an emergency vet asap, your cat could be dead by Tuesday! It could be an abscess in which case it may burst and she'll swallow the poison. Or it could be a growth of some sort.As she's drooling and can't eat, it's very serious,she will be in pain, hungry, and distressed.
If you love your cat, PLEASE find a way to get her to a vet now.

Hyperthyroid has nothing to do with this. Most likely tumor. If she is young vet ASAP if she is older not sure rushing to vet will help, as prognosis might not be good either way.

You've got this question on twice....advice the same to both questions go to the vet now, there IS an emergency clinic near you. It could be a number of things - only a vet can tell you.

You need to get her to the vet asap, I am assuming you are in the UK? Phone around and see if you can find one open tomorrow, I know it's a bank holiday. It might just be an ulcer, it could be something worse, and if she's drooling she's getting dehydrated.

Could be any number of things...a tumour, a cyst?
Sorry but that's disgusting leaving it until Tuesday, I know it's a public holiday but there are emergency vets.
