Saliva and dry mouth: Head and neck cancer and treatments

So my salivary glands are not working well but eyes and nose water when I eat. It's a weird observation. Does anyone else experience this?

@tkj68 chemo makes your eyes and mucus membranes dehydrate, so it’s compensating for the dryness. Consider working extra fluid infusions into your treatment plan. My husband has the same issue and now gets 1,000 mls of plain fluids weekly.
They also sell plain eye drops at the hospital pharmacies.
