Dear Mam, I am 51 years old man. Since last 10 years I am suffering from throat & mouth dryness. Consulted many doctors & specialists of throat, stomach but there is no remedy so far. This causes me lot of incovenience in office hours and specially in the morning when I wake up. In the morning, my mouth & throat gets totally dried. This is still un diagnosed. Please note that up to 2013 I was having a habit of chewing pan masala with tobacco. Request you to advise for any investigation or may refer to any doctor. Presently I am in Kota , Rajasthan.

Ans: Hello Mr Sanjay, I would recommend an examination by a physician as well testing of Vitamins B12 and folic acid. Also check your sugars if not done recently. If there are any raised or hard areas seen by the physician, that will need further evaluation.

Health

Hello Doctor, from last around two months, I have burning sensation in my mouth specially in roof, I have continues pain in teeth as well. kindly suggest

Ans: Hello
The burning sensation in your mouth raises the suspicion of a chronic infection. But this can be easily treated with the right medication (tablets and oral creams) which your dentist will prescribe after a thorough clinical examination.
Since you say you've had this for the last 2 months I suggest you see your dentist immediately.

Hello Dr, whenever I sleep and wake up the next day, there's always saliva in my mouth, what's the cause and what should I do to prevent it. Thank you!

Ans: Hello
Hypersalivation (excessive saliva production) can be caused by many factors. To find the root cause of your condition these factors will have to be systematically ruled out.
For a start, you could try switching your sleeping position and check if saliva still accumulates in your mouth. Like when you sleep on your back, for instance.
Next would be to consult your dentist to rule out tooth decay or gum infection. If that is ruled out you should consult your General Physician to check for other infections, allergies, other underlying conditions like acid reflux, respiratory infection, etc
The underlying cause, once determined, can easily be treated.

Question by sandip - Jul 17, 2024Hindi

Health

Hello Doctor, I am 45/m taking diabetic medication of amaryl m1 forte and jardiance 10 and also olkem 20 for BP and Jupiros f 10 .ALso I am asthematic and for that regularly I take seroflo 250 at night .My sugar is 120/160.Probelm is I have developed a lottle rough and dry tongue with a whitish coating which almost goes after i use mouthwash at night .Also my tongue is a little rough on the upper side . Consulted many ent /dentist but till now nothing helped . I have this habit of snoring at night . In the midnight and early morning tongue is totally dry and as soon as water is taken ,for that time its resolved . Please help .Thanks SS

Ans: Hi Sandip ji,
It is dryness of mouth, which is a common situation in diabetic patients.
You are also on Jardiance (Empagliflozin)- a SGLT-2 inhibitor, an anti diabetic medicine, which results in increased urination and thus loss of a lot of water from the body.
Consider and try smaller sips of water and mouth lozenges. Also, for snoring, consult a sleep medicine specialist.

I am not very sure what you mean sugar level is 120/160? Please specify. What is your HbA1c, is also important for me to know and advice further.
