I am suffering from severe mouth dryness, no real taste or smell, voice not clear (as if caught cold). Breathing OK but not so comfortable but no much disturbance. Would you kindly advise what could be the basic problem, and what sort of advise/treatment i should take from now. Thanks/Prem Anand
Dry mouth can be caused by various reason of which few includes intake of certain medicines,mouth breathing, anxiety, dehydration and conditions involving your salivary glands .
I would advice you to keep your mouth hydrated with more intake of fluids, use of ice cubes, sugar free chewing gums .
Consult your dentist to rule out the cause of the dry mouth and if needed he will prescribe you with medicine to stimulate the salivary glands to produce more saliva.
Reduce on your caffeine and alcohol intake if you have the habit of taking in large amounts.
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The dryness in the oral cavity could be because of the reduced salivary secretion secondary to any obstruction in the salivary gland duct by a stone or calculi. Consult a oral physician and get a radiograph like occlusal; and sialography done to ruleout any obstruction in the duct. If there is stone you can get it surgically removed. You can use artificial salivary substitutes like wet mouth gel. Consume lot of water, keep sipping the water. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
