Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The sticky saliva could be because of the reduced salivary secretion. This can occur if there is any stone in the salivary gland duct. or it can be because of medical conditions like diabetes, sjogrens syndrome, drugs like antihypertensive , antihistamines. Consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these things and get it diagnosed. Then we can treat accordingly by removing the cause. Mean while you can drink lot of water and you can also use salivary substitutes like wet mouth gel.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
