Hello.
Finished treatment for tonsil and lymph nodes cancer 7 weeks ago.
Any advice for what to use during day for dry mouth and throat. Already using Oralieve spray and the biotene gel .
Any other products you recommend please?
Hi John
Water is my mainstay, even 15 months on. I only need the gel at night now. I can't chew gum at work so I have a flask of water and one of lukewarm green tea - they keep me going. I can produce saliva from a dry mouth now (my latest trick!!), but thank fully only get to that point at night now. It will improve. How is your eating? Make sure you always have a drink and lots of gravy / sauce to hand. I only use the spray as an emergency stand by in my dog walking kit now.
Take care, Gill
