This is horrible

I am at the end of my rope with this.  Just saw an ENT doc yesterday who does nothing.
My tongue, mouth and throat ate dry but always feel like glue.  I keep telling the doc's about problems with my left side, behind sinus, left side of throat. Been going on for some time and getting worse.  I am constantly hacking and now bring up thick mucus. Chest x-ray was clear.
Having major dental problems. Had a root canal, left side, a week ago and given antibiotics. Just called dic due to bad nausea but have been on Clindamycin for a week. Told to stop it.  Now sore tooth behind that one and headache.
Can't convince any of them these dental issues may be connected to my other symptoms. cT and MRI done before didn't show anything
Sjorgens biopsies negative.

Thank you for your response. Actually, the tooth is much better since the dentist did some grinding and adjusted the bite. First time in months I can bite down on my own teeth with no pain. Still having major stomach problems and had to go to the ER on Tuesday. Had to see my GI doc yesterday. He feels it is IBSEN and now have to have a dreaded colonoscopy. My docs are stuck trying to medicate me due to the dry mouth issues.i will try to be more aware of what I eat but my diet doesn't vary much. I am now really only on Oneprazole and very low dose Xanax.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Understand your predicament. Check to see if it is due to allergic reactions. Maintain a diary and note down and monitor your symptoms. This may help to narrow down the search. Also, check to see if its a side effect of any medications you are taking.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Doctors insist there is no connection between my tooth problems, dry mouth and throat and phkegm/mucus.  I am now starting a headache in my sinus area, front of face. Doctor told me to stop the antibiotic.
I cannot seem to get through to any of them and they don't work together.
