Dry mouth (medically known as xerostomia) is a condition that arises when the salivary glands in the mouth don’t make an adequate amount of saliva to keep the mouth moist. There are multiple reasons that can lead to dry mouth; many medicines like those used to treat high BP, depression, anxiety and chemotherapy drugs can cause dryness in the mouth. Radiation therapy to head and neck can damage salivary glands and result in decrease salivation. Dry mouth can arise in elderly people, in diabetics and also in people who drink too much alcohol, chew tobacco, smoke, or use marijuana. Dehydration and breathing with an open mouth can also result in dry mouth. Homeopathic remedies for dry mouth bring excellent results by addressing the root cause behind the dryness.

My son feels excessively thirsty
Especially when he eats oily or meaty foods
We have tested for all possible diseases like liver, kidney, diabetes insipid us, tsh, pituitary gland, stomach e, etc. All tests are ok but he feels thirsty. He drinks almost double the recommended volume. Due to this, he has to wake up after two hours to empty the bladder which disturbs him a lot. Excessive urination weakens him. What should we do now
May I suggest he keeps a pot for urination right next to the bed. also keep a soft light on so he can see. it’s better than finding the toilet in the night. Keep drinking water and looking for solution
May I suggest he keeps a pot for urination right next to the bed. also keep a soft light on so he can see. it’s better than finding the toilet in the night. Keep drinking water and looking for solution. Also, since he notices oil or meaty foods increase the discomfort, perhaps a good idea would be to give up those kinds of food.

Maire papa ko cancer ke operation ke baad k.theropy . radiation ke baad laar to banti h lakin bahut gaari banti hai koi homeopathy me medicine bataye
For the past three years my tongue has been dry. Sometimes at night my teeth get dry as well, this is relieved by passing my tongue across my teeth. My dentist recommended a toothpaste with extra flouride and this was disastrous. I finally found a toothpaste that I can tolerate called Squiggle.
No radiation, the only medicine I take is to treat narcolepsy.
What do you recommend?
