The inside of my mouth has an interesting texture. it feels dry although there is a saliva present. it's been like this for a few weeks. ?

What has changes: Xerostomia is a reduction of salivary fluids in response to many variables. Do you have food allergies or are you taking new medications. If this persists, I recommend a dental visit for further testing as this dryness can promote decay in the teeth.

The only way: The only way to properly advise you would be to see your own dentist for a medical and dental history, and clinical examination. We can only guess and with very little information given, or your own dentist can give you a better explanation.
