How can you Cure Dry Mouth? |
How can you cure Dry Mouth that is been Dry mouth for around 2 years? It's my grandmother who is 79 years old who has Dry Muth. For some people taking a Zinc tab daily can help, others have had success taking an oral form of the drug pilocarpine(you need a prescription for this) but generally you just have to "manage" it with oral lubricants, mouthwashes and toothpastes made for dry mouth. Sleeping with a humidifier helps some too. And always carry that water bottle. Good luck and I hope this helped a little. Quit smoking so much weed mec-a-leck a hi-mecha hiney ho, mech-a-leck-a high, mechka chin-e-ho. If your doctor believes medication to be the cause, he or she may adjust your dosage or switch you to another medication that doesn't cause a dry mouth. Your doctor may also consider prescribing pilocarpine (Salagen) or cevimeline (Evoxac) to stimulate saliva production I don't know a cure exactly, There are over-the-counter products, I use biotene dry mouth gum, toothpaste, & mouthwash. |
