Dry mouth: Any ideas on how to help?

I have it every night really bad. I wake up when it starts to clog my throat like cotton. It is usually drug related. (mine is for sure) I also have a disease called Sjogrens. It dries everything out so I have to use all types of lubricates these days. I hate it. I have learned to keep water by my bed and drink after I go to the bathroom and clean the gunk out. I also use some ricola cough drops. They come in many flavores and are not really medicated. I think this will help you some. Good Luck and God Bless.

The Oral 7 products are good for Sjogrens patients I believe. The gel is sticky but has a long lasting effect and the mouthwash in a little spray bottle is useful to have by the bed. It has enzymes to try to mimic real saliva. In my head and neck cancer community we have asked them to sponsor our new charity because a lot of our people find the products useful. The company is based in Australia, the products are made in the UK and are now available in the US.
I agree with the comment above on Xylimelts. They are good, as are all xylitol products, but it can be deadly to dogs.
