What Causes Extreme Dryness In The Throat And Lips?

Every day I go to school my lip and throat gets dry, especially before lunch.Also when I play basketball indoors and out, my lips always get dry and white gooey stuff starts to form all over it,and it is extremely embarrassing. Even when I put blistex or carmex on it still happens.Also I have ADHD and I take things like adderal and vyvance for it, so can my medicine have something to do with my dry lip, mouth, and throat???Please help!!!

Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
the dryness in the lips and throat can be secondary to stone in the salivary glands resulting in reduced salivary secretion.
The medicines you are taking can also result in dryness of the mouth because they might reduce the salivary secretion. Sk consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can use artificial salivary substitutes like carboxylic methyl cellulose. Keep sipping the water.
I hope I have answered your query. Take care.
