Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain it seems that dry mouth along with tingling inside the mouth can be due to side effects of any medications or herbs that you are taking and yes, it can be a potent cause for the following symptoms..
On the other hand dry mouth can also cause following symptoms which can be due to certain causes like Severe dehydration,Salivary gland dysfunction, Nerve damage supplying salivary glands,Oral infections like thrush, Sjogren's Syndrome..etc..
As of now:
-For dry mouth chew sugarfree chewing gums, drink plenty of water, avoid regular mouthwash and use specialised mouthwash that are formulated for dry mouth patients like Biotene, you can also instil artificial saliva drops, suck tart candies as it also stimulates saliva flow..

Avoid taking any herbal supplements also without consulting an Expert.

Hope this helps..

Regards.
