Hello. Sticky saliva can be due to many reasons, like dehydration, any oral or nasal infections, motor neuron disease, or salivary gland disease. If you don't have any other symptoms, then just increase your water intake and take care of oral hygiene. If any other symptoms persists, then you must take proper consultations. For further treatment you can ask me through private questions.
