Dry mouth

Hi Dickie unfortunately the dry mouth does tend to linger on for quite a while, it will get much better with time, you will just have to make sure, you have water with you all the time. Some people on here have had acupuncture, hopefully they will come on with some advice, about it. All the best.

Hi dickie. Ray is right. I think for most of us it's a lifelong thing to some extent though it does improve. I'm four years on and still have a dry m mouth at night. I use a xylimelt tucked into my cheek which slowly dissolves through the night to keep my mouth moist. Chewing sugar free gum gets the surviving salivary glands going and stimulates the remains of the others. There is an acupuncture protocol called Auricular Acupuncture that helped me. I have two posts in my blog ONE and TWO Just click on the red links. 

Does the soapy taste linger or will my mouth as normal I.e. of nothing?

It should go. Patience. ️️

Hi Dickie. It’s early days for you I’m approaching 5 years post radiotherapy mist times during day my mouth is normal ish but at night I still use 1/2 a xyimelt sugar free  gum during the day will help  plus Carry  a small spray bottle of water to moisten mouth. I too had acupuncture find someone who does auricular acupuncture it kick started me. They taste will eventually diminish. Personally I can eat most things but nothing spicy I’m the odd ball
