Why do I always have dry mouth?

People who always have dry mouth need to pay attention to whether it is caused by some oral diseases, such as poor alignment of upper and lower teeth, or people with nasal polyps and enlarged inferior turbinate will show these symptoms. Chronic lung disease and lack of vitamin B2 can also cause this problem.

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.

4. 3 ways to prevent and treat dry mouth

a. 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.

B. 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 this.
