Hello,
Most commonly dry mouth, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weight loss along with a tendency of diabetes in your family can be due to increased blood sugar levels leading to diabetes. As the symptoms of frequent urination, excess thirst, weight loss, and dry mouth are most commonly seen in case of diabetes mellitus, therefore you should consult a general physician or a diabetologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get blood sugar levels CA both fasting and post meal along with glycosylated hemoglobin levels HbA1c checked.
In case if the blood sugar levels are higher than normal range then you can be advised oral hypoglycemic drugs to bring the blood sugar levels to normal range. Along with it dietary modifications like curbing intake of refined carbohydrates, doing moderate workout, and taking appropriate rest and avoiding stress can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
