I'm having problems with thick saliva. when i wake up or run im constantly stopping to clear my throat and spit. its nasty and annoying what can i do?

Allergies: Thickened saliva can be the result of increased mucous secretions. These may be related to seasonal allergies. Your concern might be fixed with an over the counter allergy medication, or it may require a visit to the doctor.
