thanks for your query. i have gone through your query. consult your oral physician and find out the cause of decreased salivary secretion. this can be because of many reasons like any stones in the duct opening, any developmental anamoly, radiation exposure, sjogren syndrome, certain drugs like antihistamines. once we find out the cause we can treat. you can drink lot of water, keep sipping the water. you can use artificial salivary substitute like wet mouth gel. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
