Dry mouth?!

I am 14 days post op and my mouth gets dry specially at night. Do anyone have this problem? What should I do? I use ursodiol and pantoprazol40 twice a day. Can it be the medicines side effect?

Make sure it is just a dry mouth/throat. Sometimes this can be a symptom of a water/kidney infection although I'm sure you will be aware of any other problems occurring with the dryness.

Electrolytes? I swore by my Ultima Replenisher post-op and still drink it when I start to go dry mouth. (Also used more Celtic sea salt.)

Dry mouth is a very common medication side effect. It should improve as your body finds its new normal

I have had the same problem with dry mouth since my surgery 10 days ago. It wakes me up its so bad. I thought it was from rinsing my mouth with mouthwash before bed but I passed on that the other night and still had it. I drank 80 oz of Water yesterday to try and avoid it but had it just as bad as ever last night. My nose drops constantly during the day. What is the cause of this weirdness?

Nose is runny because of fullness or dry mouth and nose runny because of stomach/reflect.

18 months out and my nose still runs after eating and drinking :angry:
