I have dry mouth and tongue when I wake up in the morning. It’s all because of this disease!

The first thing most people do when they get up in the morning is to go to the toilet, wash up and have breakfast. I believe that in daily life, many people have experienced dry mouth and tongue after getting up. What is the reason? Is it because you drink too little water before going to bed, or is it a sign of illness?

Sjogren's syndrome

Dry mouth and tongue may be caused by Sjogren's syndrome, which is an autoimmune disease. When you have this disease, the exocrine glands in various parts of the body may be damaged, but the first to be affected are often the salivary glands and tear glands. Therefore, dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common symptoms of this disease. 80% of this disease occurs in women under the age of 40, and there may also be chronic low fever, fatigue, joint pain, parotid gland enlargement, etc. Patients with more complicated conditions need to undergo some blood tests and various specialist examinations such as dentistry and ophthalmology, and consult with immunology experts to confirm the diagnosis.

Dry mouth and bitter taste when waking up is a sign of liver and spleen disharmony

If you have dry mouth and bitter taste in your mouth when you wake up in the morning, it is caused by liver and spleen disharmony, which is now called bile reflux gastritis. See if you still have bitter taste in your mouth. If not, it is not the case. Eat some fruit before going to bed at night, such as pears, apples or cherries, and you will feel better the next day.
