How do i treat my yellow brown saliva. see this yellow brown saliva anytime i spit in the morning and it stains my sheets or pillows and it smells too?

This color and odor both suggest nasal fluid or sputum from your lungs or bronchial tubes and not saliva. Wherever it's coming from, both the color and odor make infection likely, perhaps a serious one like tuberculosis, lung abscess, or others. Are you also having fever or night sweats? See a doctor ASAP. Good luck.

Yellow brown saliva would usually be caused by a sinus infection and post nasal drainage. Recommend HealthTap or primary care doctor visit for diagnosis and treatment.
