Saliva is produced and secreted by the salivary gland. Liver damage leads to decreased saliva production. Decreased saliva production can leave you with a dry mouth or the feeling of thick saliva.
I hope that you have stopped drinking alcohol since alcohol will make the inflammation to your liver with Hepatitis C get worse, faster.
