I thought I would share something that helped me with the thick spit. The doctor prescribed lidocaine and I added that to a solution of baking soda, salt, and water. I can't remember the measurements now but it helped to keep my mouth clean and helped with pain (for a few minutes) and to heal those sores. I always carried my mason jar of that around. It was my best friend along with the h2o.
