Hi my partner came down with a head cold yesterday, he hasn t got a stuffy nose, headaches have gone but now he has excessive Saliva. He feels he has a lump in his throat so when trying to swallow its blocked so he feels the need to spit and get rid of the saliva that way. It has led him to be sick aswell. He has never had this before. He is trying to sleep now but can t as it s keeping him awake. People have said gaviscon works, just wondered if this was worth him trying or is there anything else he could do?
