What Is Xerostomia?
10. Treatment
The most obvious treatment of a dry mouth is to drink fluids. However, this is not always effective if there is a cause other than temporary dehydration. There are certain medications that can help to relieve the symptoms, even if only for a short period of time.
You might also need to take advice from your doctor on which medications you should continue to use, and which you should stop. In most cases, treating the symptom is only half the issue as the underlying cause will also need to be addressed. The treatment required for this will depend on what the specific cause is.
