Hi..
Thanks for the query..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that dry mouth, excessive thirst, frequent urination can be due to increased blood sugar levels leading to Diabetes..

As the symptoms of frequent urination, excess thirst, and dry mouth are most commonly seen in case of Diabetes Mellitus, therefore you should consult a General Physician or a Diabetologist and get evaluated and he can advise you to get blood sugar levels CA both fasting and post meal along with Glycosylated Hemoglobin levels HbA1c checked..

In case if the blood sugar levels and higher than normal range then you can be advised Oral Hypoglycemic drugs to bring the blood sugar levels to normal range..
Along with it dietary modifications like curbing intake of refined carbohydrates, doing moderate workout and taking appropriate rest and avoiding stress can help..
As of now to reduce dry mouth you can chew sugarfree chewing gums and suck tart candies..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
