Is there a way to know if you’re coughing up mucus or saline?

Yes Reneemc, Mucus is thicker, much thicker than saline! Do you feel this way?

To me it feels like the saliva will flow and collect in the bottom of my mouth, and I could, more or less, let it drool out, while the mucus I actually have to force out.
