Symptoms of Dry Mouth

3. Thirstiness
Thirstiness is an effective method of ensuring that we get the fluids we need. The body starts running low of fluids and we get this overriding urge to have a drink – helping to keep us hydrated. If you are drinking more than usual, however, it could be a sign that something is wrong.
It makes sense that people with a dry mouth will want to take on more fluids to remedy the problem, and this is just what many will do. As a result, the patient is also likely to be urinating more to compensate. Whether or not taking on more fluids remedies the problem depends on the cause.
