Deb,

I agree with Cindy that you should make sure it is not something more serious first. I have dry mouth from all the ADs I am on, and while I need water with my meals, I don't choke or anything like that.

As for dry mouth from ADs, there is a product called Salix (and there are probably other brands as well) that helps promote saliva production. I use them frequently- they are little pills that melt on your tongue, they have a sort-of citrus flavor. I also usually have a glass of ice chips by my side. That helps too. I steer away from the sugary cough drops because they are so bad for my teeth, and I don't like the taste of the sugar-free ones!

Hope this helps : )

Shelley
