Hi, I’m Fruity,

I had Breast Cancer in November 2020 and recovered from it in September 2021. It’s left me with a nasty dry mouth, having exhausted all saliva substitutes nothing works to alleviate this problem.

Can anyone suggest anything to help please?

I use "xylimelts". Not 100% perfect but they work quite well for me.

Hello Ma78,

Thanks, I will look into those! What are they? Mints?

They are a kind of tablet that you stick to your gum or tooth (its easier than you'd think) and they release some sort of fluid. I get mine online but you could probably get them at a high street chemist.

What about side effects? Do you get any?
