Dry Mouth anyone?

I am on day 11 (testing negative already) and for the last few days I have been struggling with a dry mouth. I can’t sleep properly as I need to drink all the time. I’m not diabetic and was tested back in November for it.
The other symptom I’ve had is acid reflux and I’m wondering if the two are connected? Loss of appetite.
Covid hasn’t been pleasant for me, started off with a really bad sore throat for a few days, then recovered and now these other symptoms plus generally feeling like crap! Worrying about long covid now.

Sending hugs. Im not sure but i get acid reflux bad at times, have you been taking anything new at all recently that could trigger it? With me I've noticed fish oil tablets, cheese, pastry, tomato sauce and weirdly aero chocolate (very rich) are bad triggers

I'm on day 9 and for the first few days had such a dry mouth. I had trouble sleeping as I had to keep waking to drink because of it. No acid reflux though.
Hope you feel better soon.

I'm just getting over covid but I definitely had this - so dry that my tongue and roof of my mouth were like velcro and kept sticking to each other- it was horrible!
