    I have really bubbly saliva. I gag a lot. I have to spit them out. They won't stay down when I keep trying to swallow them and the whole time I just feel like I'm choking on my own spit.. Sometimes I actually "puke" the bubbly saliva when it's too much... It's crazy and I'm tired of it.

      You guys should try to have it absorbed by crackers or something dry. No I’m not trolling lmfao but seriously I would try to make the most of it by doing something that is the opposite of it like how a dry face needs moisturizing. Kind of like that. I hope you understand what I’m trying to say

  • @ellemeno0
    @ellemeno0 Před 2 lety +1

    I would like to know why a person sometimes slurps saliva in order to swallow it (not at a meal time). I have noticed it in children. My 8 year olds friend did it and then my child started doing it, I insistended she srop making the slurping sound/action and it took a few months but she did drop it. This would have me assume it is a mindless habit that can be corrected through effort. An adult friend does this and does not know why and doesn't think he can stop. He thinks there must be a reason that his mouth needs to do it. When I try to google it the results are all in regards to misophonia or the annoyance of slurping noises. I would like understanding of why it is happening, habit, tick, structural...?
    (also, I have known an adult who had overproduction of saliva but he never did this slurping his saliva)
