Now in early February I developed this flu like illness that lasted 2 months. I don’t know if it the coronavirus. But I had this dry cough and tickle in my throat. And I was experiencing extreme lethargy. I’m active but this wiped me out and made me sleep in the day. For the first few days I couldn’t taste food. But the worst thing was the dry cough and dryness I started experiencing in my mouth. It would get better during the day, it was worst when I woke up. Also I stated to drink an insane amount of fluids because I was thirsty and dry.
After 2 months it’s better but not perfect. I still have some dryness from that illness. I’m not experiencing the crazy symptoms but it’s annoying how at times I’ll feel dry, especially when I wake up. I’m using a humidifier and chewing sugarless gum and using biotene. Helps a bit but doesn’t cure it. Drinking lots of water.
As far as my throat, it feels fine but when I try to impersonate a squeaky voice, it kinda tickles.
Now if it wasn’t the coronavirus, it was the worst flu I ever had. Any thoughts?
Been taking zinc plus my multivitamin and C and D.
It sucks that sometimes my exercise session is interrupted due to the dry mouth. Just not quite enough saliva.
During your exercise session?? I've had a bit of dry mouth when I sleep and I guess would blame it on my mouth being opened sometimes, and being older, everything drys out more. I guess I'd do more searching as to why when you exercise....I gather you are a lot younger...
dry mouth could be nothing more than sleeping with open mouth.
Yep, if you are congested and your mouth opens when you sleep, then you can either develop dry mouth or drool a lot. I usually have an opposite problem and wake up on a wet pillow. But when I was taking an old-school antidepressant for migraines it gave me awful dry mouth. I just used the biotene and tried to drink lots of liquids. I also lived in an area where I had really awful allergies, so I am sure that did not help.
Had a similar affliction My doctor told me to eat Activia yogurt twice daily. Two weeks later I was good.
