What Causes Dry Mouth After A Total Hysterectomy?

I had total hysterectomy and left ovary removed 4 months ago. I have had dry mouth since 2nd month post-op, now I feel the dryness is getting down to my throat and lungs. I have thick white tongue. I wonder if I had oral thrush and want to know what doctor shall I see for treatment. I had asthma, and used steroid inhaler prn after the surgery. Not sure if this is related.

In case of you , very less chance of corelation between dry throat and hysterectomy.

For traetment of oral thrush /Dry throat/white tongue you can contact with ENT specialist.
