dry mouth/ sinuse infection

[juanathen]

Hello everyone, im new here
Ive had dry mouth for about 2 months now, it went away for like a week at one point in the first month. its wierd because my mouth is producing what seems like sufficient amount of saliva but at the top of my tongue its wet and turns my spit frothy like cotton mouth. The doctor i went to said it was normal, that i had post nasal drip. I checked my sinuses yesterday and the seem really inflammed and red and my nose doesnt feel stuffy and isnt causing much mucus. The mucus that does eventually come out is always clear and very very sticky. Whats wrong with me? And are sinuses causing my dry mouth? Please someone help me :,(

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. The dry mouth may not be related to the sinuses. But sometimes you're symptoms of a dry mouth could be due to disorders like Sjogren's syndrome, which is a disease that causes dryness of the mouth and eyes.  It can also lead to dryness in other places that need moisture, such as your nose, throat and skin. It is an autoimmune disease. Most people who get Sjogren's syndrome are older than 40. Blood tests, eye tests, imaging studies and sometimes a biopsy may be needed to diagnose to this condition. Check with your doctor to rule out this condition.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
