Hello XXXX ,
Thanks for consulting Healthcare magic.
This is Dr. Priyanka Tiwari answering your query .
Read your query and understand your concern . As you have developed dry or furry mouth this can be because of many reasons and diabetes is most common . You are not diabetic I suppose as you are not written in medical history . The other reasons are Drug induced (as you are taking medicines) , Dehydration , Autoimmune diseases , viral infection , fungal infection (candidiasis ), salivary galand disorder , Allergy or stress induced .
For this I will suggest you to consult good oral surgeon or Ent surgeon for clinical examination and get it evaluated. Inmeantime maintain good oral hygiene and take plenty of fluid . Drink water in short intervals . Chew suger free chewing gums . You can use of artificial salivary spray.
Hope i have answered your query .
