Dry Tongue

2023-11-01 16:39:34
For the Last week my tongue is gets dry continuously... I hydrate myself nicely throughout the day. But my mouth gets dry right after I drink water. It has gotten to a point that my tongue is now aching slightly from being dry for long. I tried squeezing lemon juice directly in my mouth to get my saliva going. And it did work for sometime till the sourness was gone. What should I do? And is there a Home remedy for this?

Are you on any medications? Just get a routine blood test done to rule out any medical condition. -Sip water or sugar-free drinks or suck ice chips throughout the day to moisten your mouth. -Chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugar-free hard candies. -Try over-the-counter saliva substitutes that contain xylitol. -Breathe through your nose, not your mouth if you are breathing through your mouth.
Next Steps
Visit a local dentist and get it clinically evaluated.

Hi.. You said from your side you are hydrating well and tried other, so now I will advise you go visit a dentist so that dentist can actually see your mouth and have a thorough check up. After checkup only exact problem will be known and treatment should be planned accordingly. Also this dry mouth can be seen if you are having some habits/ genetics. We have to rule out every possible cause for it.
Next Steps
Don't worry it can be treated, just don't delay visiting a dentist because dry mouth leads to ulceration and decay
