What Causes Red Blotches Along With Thick Saliva In Mouth?

Good morning, Noted my morning saliva thick with dark red blotches. I seem to sleep on my back and obviously with my mouth open. This observation does not occur during the day. This is the first time I noted this saliva problem yet previously my oral mucous was slightly yellow. Nasal infection or gingivitis. Thank you for you advice and time.

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain thick saliva and red blotches every morning are due to mouth breathing habit while sleeping ..

Due to continuous opened mouth after sleeping there is dryness inside the mouth leading to dryness of the gums and irritation can lead to inflammation and bleeding as well as the saliva gets thickened as due you are more prone of infections as the mouth remains open there can be inflammation in the salivary glands causing thick saliva

Red blotches occurs due to Gingivitis which is due to bleeding..

I would suggest you to consult a dentist and get evaluated for the cause of the problem and if it is due to mouth breathing treatment is required for correcting the mal-habit.

Fir irritated gums gum paint can provide relief..
Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration ..

Hope this information helps..
