Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. We are looking at a possible sjogrens syndrome.
2. Causes dryness of mouth, eyes due to involvement of glands.
3. Infection becomes more common.
4. Need to keep your self hydrated. More clinical details, lab investigations and medication details needed for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
