Brief Answer:
Sialolith, drug induced, carboxylic methyl cellulose

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query.

Drymouth can be because of any obstruction in the salivary gland duct like stones or sialolith. The other possible cause are drug induced - secondary to use of drugs like antihypertensive or anticholinergic drugs. Rarely it is caused by systemic illness.

Without more details I cannot comment on the cause or its treatment. I wish you provide more details about your problem and concern. We can discuss on your individual questions further.
