Talk to your Dr: Dry mouth, nose and dry eyes can be caused by various medications or certain medical conditions. Make sure you are evaluated by a Dr to ensure that there is not an underlying medical condition. Special lubricant drops, lubricant, moisturizing mouthwash and nasal spray are available for symptom relief.

No saliva: A common cause of loss of saliva is an autoimmune disorder called Sjogren's syndrome. Dryness of eyes is also usually present. There is a panel of tests to aid in diagnosis. A rheumatologist specializes in this disorder.
