Symptom #2: Dry Mouth

Another one of the earliest and easiest symptoms to detect is dryness of the mouth. This occurs for similar reasons as those which cause dry eyes: inflammation of the glands in the mouth become inflamed, which leads to problems. The mouth is not able to receive as much saliva as it needs and you may experience dry mouth, or ‘cottonmouth’ as a result.
