Dermatologist cultured my mouth and it came back I no longer had thrush and just normal bacteria of the mouth which left me with this stuff and excessive saliva. I was glad about that, but, still, no answers. All the doctors are baffled and say they have never seen anything like this. Some days, I spit all day long....Spitoon anyone? LOL. I use Peroxyl by Colgate every morning before I brush my teeth and it makes this stuff foam up, (don't swallow!) spit it out and then I scrape my tongue and its better for a while. I use Listerine to keep the bacteria down. You name it and I have tried it. Some days are worse than others. Interesting, if I eat pizza or anything really salty, it gets worse. The medications for hypersalivation dries out my eyes, so I can't use them. I believe its from having Covid no doubt and a bad case of thrush and then I got this slick slimy saliva that hangs in the back of my throat at night. I am presently using Asteline Spray (Prescription Spray) to help dry some of this up. I also chew gum, drink water and was told by someone to treat my gut because this sounds like a gut issue. I am on a really strong probiotic and I eat clean 99.9% of the time. I got off of sugar and lost 20 lbs thinking sugar was feeding the initial thrush I had from all the antibiotics/steroids from Covid last year. Well, I do have a sense of humor. We don't need a sprinkler for the front yard anymore, I can just open my mouth and walk around and water the yard! LOL. I had a terrible metallic taste in my mouth at the onset of this and found out my B12 was low. When I started the B12 injections, the metallic taste went away. Get your B12, Zinc & Iron checked. Covid did a number on my bloodwork levels. It took them a while to get back to normal. I am praying it will eventually wear itself out and I pray the same for all of you. God Bless You All!
