Do you know these three reasons for dry mouth at night?

Many friends will be awakened by thirst at night. If they don't get up to drink some water, they will feel very uncomfortable. If this happens occasionally, don't worry. If it happens frequently, you should pay attention. There are three reasons for this symptom.

Reason 1: Lack of water in the human body causes thirst

When the weather is hot, when doing heavy physical labor, when losing blood, burning, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating a lot due to high temperature (heat stroke), people will feel thirsty. This is because the body is seriously dehydrated and causes thirst. In this case, people often have symptoms such as dry mouth, haggard face, sunken eye sockets, and skin that is dry and unable to stretch. Some people may also experience thirst symptoms because they eat too much salt that day.

Reason 2: Oral disease:

Such as poor alignment of upper and lower teeth, deviated nasal septum, enlarged inferior turbinate, nasal polyps, etc. These people often breathe with their mouths open, and the air in the mouth is inhaled and exhaled, taking away more water, causing dry mouth.

Reason 3:

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that dry mouth is mostly caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, lack of body fluid, or caused by excessive heat and body fluid damage or burning of body fluid. Patients with dry mouth can choose the following formula for treatment: 15g Polygonatum, 10g Polygonatum, 10g Ophiopogon, 10g Adenophora, 10g Lycium barbarum, 10g Lilium. Soaking in water and drinking it instead of tea can help relieve dry mouth symptoms.
