Do Sticky Saliva And Bad Odor In The Mouth Require An ER Consultation?
sticky saliva in my throat for the past 5 years, my tonsils removed , but still have sticky saliva and odor in my mouth always, this causes stress , when am in a car , i feel stress and restless , please help me
As per your query symptoms of sticky saliva and bad odor in the mouth is mainly due to poor oral hygiene and stomatitis. Sometimes underlying medical condition could be the cause of your symptoms:
I would suggest to:-
1- Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing twice a day.
2- Do antiseptic mouthwash (Listerine) rinses.
3- Do warm saline rinses 2-3 times a day.
4- Suck on sugar-free mint candy.
5- Drink plenty of water.
Consult a dentist for proper examination to rule out a condition like oral thrush, hypersalivation and other infection. The dentist will perform complete oral prophylaxis and may prescribe anticholinergics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
