Dry mouth

Dry mouth is a common symptom that can be caused by dehydration, medication side effects, or a medical condition. It is characterized by a feeling of dryness in the mouth and throat, accompanied by a decrease in saliva production. Dry mouth can be uncomfortable and can lead to difficulty speaking, swallowing, and tasting. It can also lead to increased risk of tooth decay. The severity of dry mouth can range from mild to severe, and can be a chronic or temporary condition.
