Dry mouth: Any ideas on how to help?

Posted by rostrevor @rostrevor, Jul 29, 2018

I have had coated tongue and dry mouth for 3. 5 months. Now mainly dry mouth. Have ruled out gastro , ear nose and throat and blood work and urine samples pretty normal as was ultrasound. Trying dry mouth mouthwash tooth paste and lozenges. Very temporary relief. Never had this problem before. Had bypass 9 years ago and am on beta blocker and atacand and Crestor . Maybe drug related but same drugs for 9 years did not cause it. Anyone have any ideas.

Usually the mouth will dry when mouth stays open. The mouth will naturally open some
For air. Especially during sleep encouraging snoring. This was my case. Internal nasal dilators were an immediate remedy. I use em nightly and at stuffy times during day. Hardly noticeable. I also stay unstuffed with Azelastine and Flonase together.

Could be sinus related? Also could have blocked salivary gland. I'm having this checked out by a new ENT
