A member asked:

Do allergies make u have thick saliva?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michael Zacharisen answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Not usually: Environmental allergies can lead to copious mucus from the nose and eye watering, but typically do not affect saliva. Food allergies can lead to mouth itching, tingling and swelling but again, do not typically affect the consistency of saliva.
