They really didn't do anything for my parotid glands. My mouth does get very dry as they don't [produce saliva. They basically told me to buy sour sugarless gum or hard candy and rinse my mouth with ACT for dry mouth. It helps a little. A lot of it is some of my meds. It's a side effect to a few. Let me know what your doctor says. Very interested! Good luck. Praying for answers for you....

My dentist gave me an ABSOLUTE CURE FOR DRY MOUTH....using a cotton swab or just swish mother vinegar or flavored vinegar--do this every 10 minutes or so the first time until you find that the salvia is on automatic. The parotid gland gets blocked because you do have dry mouth --the vinegar stimulates salvia...SPIT it out. Keep stimulating it until the gland gets relief--depending on meds you take it will come back from time to time. BE sure to rinse your mouth well when you stop. I did the 10 minute routine for 1 hour...yes I was desperate. I carried sour sugarless candies---the more sour the better for salvia stimulation.
