Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
-Chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugar-free hard candies to stimulate the flow of saliva.
-Limit your caffeine intake because caffeine can make your mouth drier.
-Don't use mouthwashes that contain alcohol because they can be drying.
-Stop using tobacco.
-Sip water regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further
