Please excuse me if there is a thread on this elsewhere. If there is, couldn't find it.

I am five weeks post radiation treatment and dealing with dry mouth. My Dr. prescribed Neutrasal which works O.K. during the day but is no help at night. I also drink "Traditional Medicinals Organic Throat Coat" tea which my ENT recommended. It does a wonderful job of lubricating mouth and throat but is no help at night. At night I wake up every hour, hour and a half, or two hours with extreme dry mouth. Drinking water, I learned and my Dr confirmed, doesn't really help dry mouth although it does help soften phlegm. It does make one urinate which means that I need to get up for that, so I limit my water intake and swish water in my mouth to moisten it. This has limited affect.

Is there anyway to reduce dry mouth at night so that I can get a decent night's sleep?

Thanks
