Salivating yet "dry" mouth and tongue
For the past 3 weeks I have had constant salivation along with a feeling of dryness in my mouth and my tongue. I am constantly trying to squeeze my jaws and cheeks to move the saliva out and I have made my mouth, tongue and lower lip (inside) very sore. I wash my mouth out with warm salt water and that helps for about 30 minutes and then it is back again. When I finally do get to sleep I wake my jaws so clenched I can barely open my mouth. This has happened to me before when I had major surgery. I am wondering if this has anything to do with the anesthesia or other drugs - painkillers I was on. I am over two months post-surgical now, but the condition, as I noted, just cropped up 3 weeks ago. I am wondering if the oral rinses used for cancer radiation patients might help. I've not seen a doctor as yet, as I have had several other issues to deal with.
