Why The Inside Of The Mouth And Lips Feel Very Dry?

For the past 2 days, my lips have felt dry (like being wind burned or chapped) and the inside of my lips/mouth feel very dry. I haven't changed any medication and don't think I've eaten anything of the ordinary. When I ate some vinaigarette salad dressing today, the inside of my lips burned a little. What could this be???

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from dry mouth and stomatitis secondary to dry mouth and stomatitis is leading to burning sensation..
You need to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in ruling out the exact cause of the problem and treatment of the underlying cause can resolve the symptoms.
As of now you can gargle with a numbing mouthwash, take Ibuprofen for soreness and pain, suck ice pops and do cold water rinses..
You can chew sugarfree chewing gums and lemon drops as it can stimulate saliva flow..
Take soft and cool diet and maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
