That's very odd and bad. I've not heard of sticky white discharge from the mouth so far.

How have you been keeping your torts ?
Have they been healthy so far ?
How do they look ?
Do they get enough water and sunlight ?

Your tortoise needs warmth - no less than 27C day or night.

Your tort needs UVB light either from a special reptile lamp indoors or from the sun by being outdoors for at least an hour a day. UVB does not pass through window glass.

Your tort needs twice daily soaks in warm water for at least 30 minutes each time to make sure it is hydrated

Finally, your tort almost certainly needs a course of antibiotics. I cannot tell you a dose as that depends on the antibiotic and on the weight of your tortoise. For that you need a vet.
