Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 67 | I came across these tips (different site) about a year ago for reducing thick saliva:
1. Swish, then swallow papaya juice from a glass, not metal, container to cut thick saliva.
2. Mix 1 teaspoon unflavored Adolph's meat tenderizer in 1 cup of water, swish and gargle, but do not swallow.
I haven't tried them - has anyone? I know that papaya and Adolph's contain the same enzymes. It made sense to me...

Give it a try. Best to you in your recovery.
