What Causes Dry Throat?
Hi, I m a Sjogren s patient, My eyes are getting worse. I have a lot of moisture in my mouth. It s my throat that is terribly dry. I have to drink water all day long. Suddenly, I find it hard to talk, or get words out. My lips and the surrounding area seem to spasm, and I end up biting my lips. I was wondering if you could advise me on any help with these symptoms? I m sixty seven years old and have dealt with Sjogren s for for around thirty five years, however, suddenly my symptoms are increasing. Thank you for your help. Pam Butler

Hello,
It may be due to chronic gastritis. For that you can take tablet Pantoprazole and syp Mucaine gel after consultation. Avoid hot and spicy foods. In case of not getting relief you may require upper GI endoscopy after gastroenterologist consultation. Continue steam inhalation and Betadine gargle twice a day. Take hygienic food and water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
