The drooling could be a result of nausea or irritation in the oral cavity. We can also see drooling with some toxins (for example organophosphate toxicity). I am not sure what kind of poisoned fly he ingested, if it was poisoned with a chemical or the fly itself made him sick (here in the US we wouldn't see a toxicity from ingesting a fly but I am not sure if there are different types of insects in your region). I would call your vet to let them know that the kitty is still drooling. They may say it is a normal side effect or they may want to further examine his mouth or give him medicine for nausea.
