Are there ways to help me swallow better?

I had chemo radiation for left tonsil cancer back in 2008 and to help with the dry mouth tried electrical stimulation acupuncture in 2015 where I was tested to get a baseline and retested after 8-10 appts. and had great results. Never needed to go back.

In addition, I also slept with a bottle of water next to me and got a Humidifier on my end table to make sure there was the most moisture possible in my bedroom to help get some sleep.

Hope this helps.

Also,
I didn't have this available to me but others on this support group site have mentioned
Xylimelts Stick-On Melts you can buy off Amazon and the box of 40 was less that 10 bucks. People say they really work, and they sleep through the night. And their daytime dryness is much better also. You should research using for extended period of time effects. Also, Biotene spray is effective long time after 2 or 3 sprays! And recently there is a Aquoral protective oral spray Home - Aquoral Spray - Dry Mouth Relief which is more than temporary relief of dry mouth.
