Salty tast in my mouth from diagnosed with Sjogren's

I have not been diagnosed with Sjogrens Syndrome, but I believe I have same symptoms. At night my cheeks are stuck to my gums and it's hard to swallow. My PCP says there's nothing to do for it, just manage side effects/symptoms. I'm trying to drink more water, but doesn't seem to matter.

@connie2146 Have you been to a dentist recently? They can suggest better ways to treat dry mouth including Boitene products. My dentist told me that water doesn't work because it evaporates right after you drink it. There are rinses, sprays, gels and xylitol products that last a lot longer. My dentist was much more helpful than my primary care doctor. There are also two medications that increase saliva. Have you tried anything other than water?
