Thick saliva

[Rav]

Throughout the day I always get this thick saliva that kinda clogs up in my thoat. It mostly happens after I eat something and since it's thick and has a mucus-like texture, I feel like I have to throw up. This has been happening to me for quite some time but I never thought it was serious before.

It could be from many things, alone or in combo. Acid reflux, dry mouth or Sjogren's Syndrome, salivary duct stones, salivary gland disorder, medication side effects (for cancer, Hep C), sinus infections, allergies, etc.

Thanks for the info and the link, I hope it's nothing serious.

Probably just a stone blocking one of your salivary glands. They can see them on x-ray. If it pops out on it's own, you'll know. Your saliva will suddenly become very salty, that's the backwash.

Good luck :wave:
