Thick Stringy Saliva,could It Be Due To Teething Or Reflux And Will It Lead To Soar Throat?

My baby has very thick saliva, past week he had a lot of phlegm... I was suctioning it out now it's dry yellow boogers but he is left with thick stringy saliva . Could he just be teething or can it be reflux I also thought he might even have a sore throat with all the drool coming out ?

Hi,
It seems that hyper slivation might be due to teething problem or some infection in mouth like glossitis, upper respiratorytract infection, putting any contaminated thing in mouth present in room etc.
Consult your doctor and get examined.
Ok and take care.
