Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a teenage child who is complaining of constant dry mouth in the morning ...has been burping foul smelling gassy burps ...she has complained if several neck spasms she says it feels more loke a shock ..gets hot for no apparent reason and threw up twice says symptoms come and go ...
I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..
As per your complain dry mouth on waking up can be due to mouth breathing habit while sleeping and it causes continuous exposure to air in and out of mouth can cause dryness in mouth and throat..The fol smelly burps, neck cramps and throwing can be related to some digestive problem leading to build up of intestinal gas and you need to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an Endoscopy done to confirm the cause and treat accordingly.. For dry mouth if you have mouth breathing habit, sleep with your mouth closed and you can do it by sticking a vertical strip of micropore over the closed lips so that nasal breathing is enforced..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern... Dry mouth upon waking from sleep is most probably due to mouth breathing. normally a person breathes through nose while sleeping. Mouth breathing can be habitual & also due to blockage of nose. Other reasons of dry mouth can be dehydration, Due to some drugs, lack of saliva production due to radiation therapy etc. Mouth breathing can cause drying of oral mucosa & other oral problems.
You should first visit a dentist & get checked for mouth breathing.
Hoping your query is solved good luck.
