Brief Answer:
Tooth or bone infection, stone in salivary gland, radiographs

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
As far as the fluid and thick ropy saliva is concerned, I have two possibilities.
It can be because of pus discharge secondary to tooth or bone infection.
The other possible cause can be a infection in the salivary glands secondary to stones in the salivary gland.
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph like orthopantomograph and occlusal radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis.
Once the diagnosis is concerned we can treat accordingly.
Please describe your problem in detail and of possible upload the images of your teeth and face.
I hope I have answered your query. if any queries are there reply me back.
Take care.
