Dr. Ghosh: Dry mouth can be the result of chemotherapy, certain medications or radiation treatment. Neglecting symptoms of dry mouth can lead to developing painful mouth sores, dental problems and changes in taste sensation.
To improve dry mouth:
Drink at least eight to ten glasses of fluid each day.
Avoid citrus fruits and dry foods.
Rinse your mouth every few hours.
Suck on hard candy, especially sour candy.
Keep your lips moist.
Try very sour or very sweet foods and beverages, such as lemonade or cranberry juice these foods will cause more saliva to flow. (If you have a tender mouth or sore throat, though, sweet or sour foods can make that worse.)
