Post tooth extraction?

I had a tooth pulled out 5 days ago, and everything seems to be going fine. It's just that because where the tooth was (behind the top front teeth), I've had difficulty eating and drinking. The problem is that whenever I do eat or drink something, a while later, this clear gunky stuff appears on my teeth, it's like thick saliva. Is this appearing because of the way I've had to eat in order to avoid the hole near my pallette, or it something else? I've drank a lot of water hoping this would alleviate the problem, but I get the same thing. Has anyone else had this?

You might have a fistula forming between your nasal cavity/maxillary sinus and your mouth. Test by holding your nose and trying to blow gently through it - if air escapes into your mouth then you need to get some treatment. It's common after upper extractions but thankfully, only in rare cases, is it persistent. Avoid hard nose blowing for 10 days and you may need antibiotics to prevent infection and the communication becoming permanent.
