What is the reason for dry mouth

Dry mouth and tongue are quite common. There are many reasons for this. Some are caused by oral diseases, such as enlarged inferior turbinate or nasal polyps. Of course, they may also be caused by cardiopulmonary diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema. These symptoms may all occur. Therefore, after we understand the reasons, we should know how to regulate and improve them through the correct methods.

1. Common causes

1. Oral diseases: such as poor alignment of upper and lower teeth, deviated nasal septum, enlarged inferior turbinate, nasal polyps, etc. These people often breathe through their mouths, and the air in and out of the mouth takes away more water, causing dry mouth.

2. Chronic lung disease: emphysema, chronic bronchitis, etc., especially some elderly people, whose lung function is generally poor and the body is severely hypoxic, so they often perform compensatory breathing with their mouths open. Once the lung function improves, the symptoms of dry mouth will be relieved.

3. Vitamin B2 deficiency: When the body lacks vitamin B2, it will also cause dry mouth, as well as ulcers at the corners of the mouth, dry throat, and tongue ulcers.

2. Prevent and treat dry mouth

1. Lotus seed core water can prevent and treat dry mouth and tongue: Brew lotus seed core with boiling water, not too strong or too weak. Drink it two or three times a day to prevent dry mouth and tongue, rising internal heat, sore and itchy throat, hoarseness, and drowsiness. It can also treat cough.

2. Eat Chinese wolfberry to treat night sleep syndrome: Eat 30 grams of Chinese wolfberry every night. The more chewed it is, the better. Keep doing it. However, it should be pointed out that elderly people with long-term dry mouth should be further examined. For example, some people with cancer may also have dry mouth, so please do not take it lightly. In addition, for people with diabetes or the elderly who feel dry mouth due to decreased body fluid secretion, especially at night, you can wash the wolfberry and keep it ready. When needed, take one grain and hold it on the center of the tongue. After a few seconds, a sea of ​​saliva will emerge from the root of the tongue.
