Thanks for your query and an elucidate history::
I have read your history and understood the problem.

The causes of such a symptoms complex can be :

Autoimmune problem of the salivary gland .

A proper examination by an ENT and investigations will help to have a proper diagnosis and treatment.

You will need the following tests:
Urine - specific gravity - routine and microscopy.

Treatment will depend upon the correct diagnosis.
