Dry mouth remedies

Posted by evw100 @ew100, Oct 3, 2020

I have Sjogren's Syndrome that causes dry mouth. I have been using Biotene Oral Balance Dry Mouth Moisturizing Gel to help me sleep at night. I put 1/2" on my tongue and my saliva started to flow and it sting my throat when I swallowed it. May be the strong sweetness irritate my throat? Wonder if you have the same experience?
Also, any recommendation for products that you use that help your dry mouth will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I use Ricola sugar-free lemon mints. They’re also good for coughs.
Available at the supermarket or drugstore.

I have the small bottle of Biotene spray on my nightstand. Seems to be a bigger problem when sleeping. I just spray and fall back to sleep. Use the mouthwash during the day.
