What to do if i have dry mouth though. when do i need to be worried about water intoxication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your doctor: There are many causes of dry mouth like side effect of certain medications, certain diseases and infections (diabetes, anemia), nerve damage, just to name a few. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment or referral to a specialist. Hyponatremia (low sodium) can lead to water intoxication.
