hi everyone,

I am just wondering if anyone has suggestions for patients with xerostemia. 
My patients dislikes using artificial sprays or moisturizers. He is willing 
to moisten foods that are dry and drinks water throughout the day. I have 
tried DPNS foley technique as an intervention...very minimal results at this 
time. My patient has tried the gelclair rinse medication which has relieved  
soreness and discomfort. Does anyone have any other suggestions that I might 
try? I would appreciate hearing from my colleagues. Thank you for your 
suggestions in advance.

Michael F. Lupinski MA.,CCC-SLP
