HI,
Dry mouth can be a side effect of many drugs like Pristiq for depression. Smoking or chewing tobacco can affect saliva production and aggravate dry mouth. Continuously breathing with your mouth open can also contribute to the problem. It can be due to conditions that lead to dehydration, such as fever, excessive sweating, vomiting, diarrhoea, blood loss, and burns can cause dry mouth. Dry mouth can be due to medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid problems, anaemia, cystic fibrosis.
Certain measures will help like- Drinking plenty of water to help keep your mouth moist. Sucking on sugar-free candy or chewing sugar-free gum. You can also use an over-the-counter artificial saliva substitute.
The answer is based on information provided. Exact advice is not possible without a proper examination and investigations. You are requested to consult your Doctor. Take care and keep us posted.
A dry mouth was one of the first symptoms that was really bothersome for me. Then I noticed weight gain, feeling cold, my skin was dry for years I thought that was because I was in memopause. If you google thyroid diet, eliminating certain foods because they cause inflammation and it triggers the immune system to attack the thyroid. Also limiting your exposure to toxins like harsh household cleaners, nail polish removers, pesticides, ect. All the best to you!
