7 weeks post treatment and dry mouth.

Hi. Yes all this is about right. Try a pocket water spray instead of sipping water some of the time. 

Hi yes you’re about right for your stage if recovery. As xx u says the water spray bottle helix as it durdnrceash away saliva but still keep on drinking. Later sugar free gin will help. I still use 1/2 an xyimelts at night but no longer wake up at all

Thanks Hazel, sadly I don’t drink otherwise the sugar free gin sounds fab!

Oops typo I’m famous for them should be sugar free gum. Although today I’ve struggled to get my usual orbit blue and got orbit green it’s burnt my mouth even now at 7 years. Yes like you I don’t drink didn’t drink before treatment certainly can’t  now. Hooe yiure ok it does improve sometimes 2 steps forward and ine step backwards. 

hugs Hazel 

Just on sugar-free chewing gum, I found  spearmint milder than peppermint, maybe it's worth trying other flavours? I'm now 2 years post-treatment, no longer need to carry water when I'm out but I do like to have chewing gum on me in case my dry mouth gets bad, also I think it helps clean my teeth until I can brush. I like Milliways brand which is plastic-free.

I can’t tolerate chewing gum yet as it’s too much

Have look on Amazon. PUR and others do fruit flavoured gums which are kinder than mint

Thanks that’s a great idea, just wondering if it’s usual that my mouth is very tingly at the moment really regardless of what I eat, so even cleaning teeth does it. I’m assuming it’s all part of the recovery and just takes time?

I’m sure it is. Your battered mucous membranes are fighting back and the nerves take time
