what to do for dry mouth while sleeping

[headshop]

I am drinking water, gatorade, probably 6 litres or more. When I go to sleep at night my mouth gets really dry(yes I am a mouth breather). my mouth gets super dry, and the tissue in mouth and lips get so dry and sticky, I have chewed off outer layer especallially below lips. My mouth is sore and hurting when I eat, also sticks it is so dry.

What do ya'll do for this probably. I am thirsty because my mouth is dry, peeing off and on because I am needing to drink water to relieve the dry mouth.

If I drink all night, I pee all night I don't sleep. I will definitely try the oasis and biotine, whatever it is.
I have a sore place on the edge of my tongue and tip. My mouth seems to be very sensitive to the heat.

I just posted this in headshop's journal...During treatment I used Oragel's Dry mouth moisturizing gel"...it worked great! It coats everything inside your mouth and you don't wake up with "leather tongue"...It lasts several hours and keeps the sores to a minimum...Because the bacterial flora in your mouth gets a bit "wonky" while treating, remember you are at risk for an oral fungal infection (thrush)...For prevention, eat a bit of yogurt every other day or so...This will also help keep lower gut troubles at bay...Good luck everyone...I'm 8 weeks post treatment now, and I feel really great! No brain fog, no fatigue, no muscle pain...No hep c...Just remember, these sides are all temporary...Hang in there...(((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGZ)))))))))))))))))))))))))                                    ~Melinda

I used both the Biotene toothepaste and mouthwash (still do) while tx'ing and it did help to some extent.  I got the dry nose/sores and that lasted about 6 mos.  Definitely try the humidifier in your room at night.  Everything dries out, hair, eyes, skin, nose, mouth.  I am almost 6 mos post tx now and my hair is strong, healthy and get oily again.  My eyes don't hurt anymore either.  I used nasal moisture spray and liquid tears all of the time when I tx'ed as well.  I also used leave in conditioners and more expensive shampoos.

Wish I had known about the Orajel Dry mouth jel.

I was picking up my usual refill on phenegran and got some oasis spray, which will be sitting beside my bed tonight.

Are you drinking tap water?....and the gatoraide  is not a healthy thing to be drinking...

The gel is called

Oral Balance by Biotene.

They also make a mouth wash and a chewing gum. I use all three. They keep the balance of enzymes in your mouth and also help prevent mouth sores
