Dry mouth - week after drinking
Hello,
I went out drinking the weekend before last and the next morning I had a dry mouth. I thought nothing of it but then, it didn't go away.
My mouth isn't constantly dry. If it's closed it is completely normal and when I wake up it isn't dry. Only when I'm talking to someone. Could I have damaged my mouth?
I now have a cold and post nasal drip - and since the cold broke my mouth hasn't been dry at all. Completely normal. I just have regular cold symptoms. Are they linked?
Any advice?
You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat and nose infection in this season. You may need to take anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
