Hope everyone is doing good!

finished small surgery for infection but no positive sign till date as infection is still there.

Now little bit Saliva formation starts, now my mouth is not that much dry. But Saliva is very thick sometime feels like cough don't know clearly that is Saliva our cough. My oncologist told to drink lots of water and it will be alright.
Is this recovery of Saliva formation or healing does everyone feel like me?

Still on liquid diet.
