Suggest Treatment For Clear Stringy Liquid From Upper Mouth

I've had a clear, stringy, liquid coming out of the upper right interior of mouth. (Inside my lip) My dentist thinks it may be a salivary gland gone wild, but offered no remedy. It's most annoying, as I have to pull it out several times a day with a Q-tip. Any suggestions on what it might be and how I can get rid of it?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as you have cleear liquid discharge from upper front teeth it can be due to infection in gums there can be formation of sinus tract so pus can be oozing out from lip .

Dont worry consult dentist and go for IOPA xray of anterior tooth if it is periapical infection then go for Root canal treatment , and if it is periodontal infection then go for Curretage .

Hope this will help you.
