Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dry mouth and burning sensation while eating which seems to be due to dry mouth i.e Xerostomia. Need not to worry. You should chew sugar free candies along with saliva substitute as it will enhance secretions of saliva. You should try to breath from nose instead of mouth. You should consult physician once and get it examined completely, so that he/she can take complete history and check other symptoms to find what exactly causing dry mouth. You should take plenty of fluids and avoid fried food.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
