What Are the Causes of Dry Mouth?
Dry mouth is considered to be caused by physiological or pathological factors, such as bacterial colds, diabetes, etc. Targeted treatment and improvement should be carried out according to the specific causes.
I. Physiological Factors:
If you drink too little water or eat too salty food in your life, such as pickles, salted fish, etc., or sweat after intense exercise, it will lead to decreased saliva secretion, resulting in dry mouth. At this time, it is caused by physiological factors, and no special treatment is required when the discomfort symptoms can return to normal.
II. Pathological Factors:
Bacterial Cold: As the number of bacteria increases, bacterial colds will repeatedly stimulate the upper respiratory tract, causing symptoms such as cough and phlegm. This makes the body's heat production greater than heat dissipation, causing fever. When the body temperature rises, a large amount of body fluid is lost, and dry mouth may also occur. Drugs such as Amoxicillin Capsules, Cefalexin Granules, and Cefuroxime Axetil Granules can be used for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
Diabetes: Diabetes refers to higher than normal levels of glucose in the blood. If long-term hyperglycemia is not controlled in a timely manner, it will stimulate the thirst center, causing symptoms such as dry mouth, thirst, polydipsia, and polyuria. Drugs such as Metformin Hydrochloride Tablets, Glimepiride Tablets, and Acarbose Tablets can be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Besides the above common causes, it may also be caused by conditions such as diabetes insipidus.
