i'm sorry, i can't figure out "inor stroke"; is that Minor stroke?

at any rate, you might want to use xylimelts to help relieve the dry mouth. it's a lozenge i use between teeth and cheek. leave it there over night. it slowly dissolves, helping to promote saliva. you should be able to find it in the oral care section of your grocery or drug store.

mind you, this doesn't actually correct the problem your having with dry mouth. but at least it will get help soothe it.

Pretty sure OP just made a typo and the m is missing.
OP can edit the subject line and fix it or I can fix it if OP can't figure out how to edit.

I am wondering if the minor stroke has impacted facial features/muscles and maybe a little mouth breathing is going on that will of course dry out the mouth.
It takes very little mouth breathing to dry out the mouth for some people...add in maybe some medications causing dry mouth or something related to the stroke...might even be other factors involved.

inor = minor and using my fat right thumb to type when I am left handed.Taking a drug with dry mouth side effects and one which is a muscle relaxant which explains the problem.
