A dry mouth is common and can often be prevented. Try some
of the following prevention measures:
- Drink
2 qt (2 L) of water a day. This
is the same as eight
8 fl oz (237 mL) glasses of
water.
- Use a humidifier
in your home, especially the bedroom.
- Breathe through your nose
rather than through your mouth.
- Do not take antihistamines or drink
alcohol, which tend to dry the mouth.
