Had Bronchitis. Took Antibiotic, Feeling Dry Mouth And Throat. What Is The Medical Cure For This?
Hi, I have had bronchittis for the last 2weeks. I was put on an antibiotic so my mouth has been very dry but its getting better. I still have a dry mouth on and off with not much saliva production but I do feel like something is dislodged in my throat and my throat feels very dry. Sometimes I have trouble swallowing and it can take 2-4 goes before I can...

It may be due to the antibiotic you are taking as side-effects, but if it persist, you should go for screening of Sjogren Syndrome, and also a sialography.
