As stated, The two saliva glands in front of my ears and the two glands in my neck are blocked.
tissue biopsy performed under "twilight" anesthesia. Report was I had a rare form of sjogren's syndrome but no follow was done so didn't consider it important.
I have had a CT scan for stones which was negative.

Hi,
Thanks for your follow up query.
For this disease, I will suggest the conservative treatment --
Increase your fluid intake.
Use chewgum to stimulate the production of saliva.
Sucking icecubes to help lubricate your mouth.
Regularly use mouth rinse to soothe the mouth and protect it against infection
Use saliva substitute.
And for specific drug such as pilocarpine ,please consult your physician.
If you have any doubt,I will be available for your query.
Wish you good health.
