THERE ARE LIQUID MEDICATIONS YOU CAN BUY AT THE DRUGSTORE OR SUCK ON MINTS OR LOLLYPOPS TO CREATE SALIVA. ALL ARE GOOD FOR DRY MOUTH. IF YOU ARE TAKING MEDICATIONS FOR YOUR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION THEY COULD BE CAUSING YOUR COUGHING AND DRY THROAT,LET YOUR DOCTOR KNOW THIS.

Practice DMR and guided visual imagery to recondition and desensitize the anxiety in reaction to social interaction.
