Dry Mouth Always
I am 25, 5'11' and 61 kg. I drink lot of water (at least 5 ltr a day) but still I feel that my mouth is dry all the time. If I drink more than ~5 ltr a day, I have to urinate a lot and frequently which is uncomfortable. For some time after I drink water, my mouth feels alright but soon I start feeling the dryness in mouth and start getting the urge to drink water. After a certain time I realise that my stomach is full with water and I can't drink any more water but the dryness in my mouth is still there. Good it's so annoying and troubling for me. Kindly help. Thank you

5 to 6 litres per day is the normal appropriate amount for your age and height and weight. Please understand that the main role of water is to flush away the toxins in the body and that is done by filtration through the Kidneys and creation of urine. So urination should not be a major problem because that just indicates that the sufficient amount of water is flushing the Kidneys nicely. Water intake is not a fixed amount for any age or weight and is a tentative suggestion. So if you are into more physical activity or have history of certain medications which can cause dry mouth (all these can be ascertained after a proper clinical evaluation) your water intake needs to be more. We do not sweat in an air conditioned room but still our body gets dehydrated so water intake in winters as well as after spending long hours in air conditioned rooms should also be higher. Keep your tongue clean by cleaning it with your toothbrush every time after you brush your teeth and avoiding tongue cleaners for this purpose. Regards.
