About this condition
Dryness of the throat and mouth is on the clinic’s printed list. It is worth investigating rather than tolerating, since persistent dryness can point to uncontrolled diabetes, a medication side effect, mouth breathing, reflux reaching the throat, or Sjögren’s syndrome.
Symptoms we see
- Constant dry throat or mouth
- Difficulty swallowing dry food
- Waking at night needing water
- Hoarse voice
- Burning sensation in the mouth
- Cracked lips and tongue
Not every patient has every symptom — and the combination present is precisely what determines the remedy.
