Sticky saliva

Introduction The sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves that innervate the salivary glands all promote secretion; however, the effects of the two are different. The secretion of the former is thick and the secretion of the latter is thin. When work is busy, people are over-stressed, mood swings, and lack of sleep. In this case, autonomic dysfunction (sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves cannot be coordinated) is made, making saliva either thick or thin.

Cause

The spleen is transported to the main body, and the main spleen is cleared. Its dysfunction leads to disorder of water and liquid metabolism, which leads to obstacles such as water and dampness. The fluid is sputum, and the spleen fluid loses and causes sputum metaplasia.

Differential diagnosis

Increased salivation: Saliva is a mixed fluid secreted by large and small salivary glands. The regulation of salivation is completely neuro-reflective, including unconditioned and conditioned reflexes. The efferent nerves that innervate the salivary glands have sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves. Both of these nerves excite when they cause an increase in salivary secretion, but mainly by the role of parasympathetic nerves.
