I have been amazed to read about the number of people suffering from 'salty mouth' and that no medic has been able to explain why.
This is totally unacceptable - doctors and dentists are well-paid professionals and should be able to give patients reasons for the problems that they are experiencing and treat these problems appropriately.
Come on you scientists - find the many sufferers of 'salty mouth' a solution to this problem.
To those with salty mouths
I have had this for almost a year. Nystatin before meals and an antifungal antibiotic has helped. I have an autoimmune disorder called lichen planus diagnosed by dermatologist. Hope this helps.
