Hello,
Since Sjogren's is associated with dry mouth, it is very likely that you develop frequent oral complaints. You please continue anti inflammatory drugs as and when required. But please keep yourself hydrated well. If possible please keep chewing gums and chocolates so as to enhance the secretions of saliva.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
