Any tips for extreme dry mouth? Had it already from meds I’m on, but new meds have made it worse. I’ve also had a problem with swallowing which was getting worse before this, but now there’s a lot more I can’t eat. I’ve tried thinning and cutting things up. I drink water before I eat. I’m going back to my gp, but if anyone has any tips in the meantime. I just nearly choked on a cuppa soup 😩
