Yellow Saliva in morning. Causes?

A thick and dark yellow phlegm may be a sign of a viral or bacterial infection, sinus infection, or lower respiratory tract infection. Typically, this occurs when the immune system sends white blood cells, known as neutrophils, to the area of infection. However it is found that yellow phlegm does not always signify an infection. The following steps may help with resolving the phlegm: - Salt water gargle with lukewarm water thrice a day - Do steam inhalation with plain steam thrice a day - Wipe your face with a hot towel regularly - Maintain proper oral hygeine - Stay well hydrated and aim to drink 3 liters of water per day If the condition persists or worsens visit the nearest ER

Follow the lifestyle changes as adviced

Hello. I think you should know that yellowish discolouration of saliva can occur due to bacterial overgrowth in the tongue, teeths or oral tissues. It can also be seen in acid reflux. Generally a patient with acid reflux will also have heart burns.most of the time this will end up resulting in halitosis(bad breath) and tooth decay, where the standard dental treatments and mouthwashes that are often recommended provide only temporary relief. Oral malodor is primarily the result of microbial metabolism. The mouth is home to hundreds of bacterial species with various nutritional preferences. These organisms digest proteins, and several fetid substances arise, leading to bad breath. Oral malodor from the overgrowth of proteolytic, anaerobic gram-negative bacteria on the crevices of the tongue dorsum can be successfully diagnosed and treated.To reduce bad breath, help avoid cavities and lower your risk of gum disease, consistently practice good oral hygiene. Further treatment for bad breath can vary, depending on the cause. If your bad breath is thought to be caused by an underlying health condition, it's better to consult a dentist or physician they will do the needful
