A member asked:
Early 20's, thin male, healthy. why is it my mouth and throat is always dry at bedtime? i'm hydrated. not mouth breather.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Direct cause: Is not enough saliva production. Common cause is medication side effect. If you are truly well hydrated and take no medications, you need to see your doctor because it could be a condition called sjorgren's syndrome, which can also cause dry eyes.
