Can a tetanus shot cause dry mouth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry mouth is listed as one possible side effect of the tetanus vaccine. It is not listed as a serious side effect, and usually it is self-limited. The problem should get better within a few days. If it does not, Contact your primary care doctor. Good luck.
