What Causes Dry Mouth And Excessive Saliva After Putting Medicated Filling In Molar?

I had a medicated filling put in a molar Wednesday. Since then, I have had burning in my throat and a medicated taste back there. It also feels like there is a ball of phlem. I have had the sensation of extreme dry mouth, yet I have had excessive saliva. Is this from the medicated filling, a chemical burn from the numbing agent, or just coincidental throat infection?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I would suggest you to take lukewarm saline rinses 3-4 times a day to give a soothing effect also take mutivitamin suplements for 30 days.
You will be fine.

Take care!
