Thank you, Christine. I plan on buying the Biotene gel. I use the mouth wash, but only before bed. Otherwise, I am an official water bottle-carrying patient. I will ask about those meds at my next visit. Frankly, I am so sick of taking meds that every time I can stop one, it makes me feel better. I guess you have to pick your battles! Things could be much worse, of course. I just hope this soreness on my lateral tongue is nothing.

Thank you as always!
Love,
Kerri
