Hello, I am looking to see if anyone else on here knows about dry mouth or mouth and tongue irratations due to stroke and meds, my mom is doing great but her mouth is driving her nuts and not sure what to do to help her, we have done every test known and also I have her using special toothpaste, mouthwash and also moisturizer for your mouth, any help would be great.

jimmy,
   I suffer with the dry mouth. I purchased mouth kote from cvs. It is a spray. I also purchased numoisyn by prescription. Not covered by insurance. It was $24.00 for 100 lozenges. I have not needed it since I purchased these meds but I will let you know how they work. The dry mouth is driving me crazy. They also say suck on sugarless candy or gum. They work ok but my dry mouth last for hours at a time. It stinks.
