However, if it is caused by some diseases, dry mouth and eyes, then it should be taken seriously and as soon as possible**.

So what diseases can cause dry mouth and dry eyes?

1. Sjögren's syndrome.

Sjögren's syndrome is one of the common causes of dry mouth and eyes, it is an autoimmune disease characterized by high lymphocytic invasion of exocrine glands, after the disease, the immune inflammatory response will invade the salivary glands and lacrimal glands, and the patient will have significant symptoms of dry mouth and eyes, and will also be accompanied by parotid gland enlargement reaction. In order to eliminate these abnormal manifestations, it is recommended to actively use a number of symptomatic drugs for improvement.

2. Cold. Dry mouth and eyes can also be caused by a cold illness. Cold is a relatively common upper respiratory tract infection in life, this disease will bring a lot of adverse symptoms, in addition to dry mouth and dry eyes, nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, high fever, cough, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, general weakness and other reactions, at this time should use anti-influenza drugs for **.

Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs in the liver and is more common in people over the age of 40. After the disease, the patient will have symptoms of dry mouth and eyes, accompanied by black stool, hematemesis, abdominal distention, jaundice, lack of appetite, palpitations, excessive sweating, oil aversion and other adverse reactions. At this time, what the patient needs to do is to take measures as soon as possible.

Dry eyes and dry mouthEating more pears, apples, grapes, white fungus, lilies, and lotus seeds is a symptom of yin deficiency.

Symptoms of dry mouth and eyes, usually due to Sjögren's syndrome, are autoimmune diseases. Due to the abnormal function of the body's immune system, the glandular cells in the mucosal tissue are mistakenly attacked as harmful cells, resulting in inflammation, which eventually leads to apoptosis and damage to the glandular cells, resulting in insufficient secretion, which will manifest as dryness of the mucosa in many parts of the body.

In addition to dry mouth and eyes, dry nasal cavity and other parts will also occur, which can generally be diagnosed by blood tests and immune indicators. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, oral hormonal drugs** can be used to suppress the autoimmune response, thereby improving symptoms. At the same time, it is also necessary to give symptomatic **, for example, patients with dry mouth can drink more water, and patients with dry eyes need to order artificial tear eye drops**, such as the commonly used sodium hyaluronate eye drops.

Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease that can occur at any age, but it is more common in people aged 40-60 years, with more than 90% of patients being women. Due to the insidious onset, the early symptoms are atypical, and the symptoms such as dry mouth and dry eyes in the early stage are mild and are often ignored by patients. Some patients often tolerate it, thus delaying the first opportunity.

Often the condition is severe, causing thrombocytopenia, joint pain, and even internal organ damage, pulmonary interstitial lesions, liver fibrosis, ** bleeding spots, renal tubular acidosis, renal bone disease leading to bone pain, hypokalemic periodic paralysis leading to general weakness and other lesions. At this time, patients often go to the Department of Gastroenterology or Hepatology, Endocrinology, Nephrology, and Neurology, causing the patient to take many detours on the department, and it takes a long time or to go to many hospitals before being diagnosed.

To date, the exact circumstances that cause Sjogren's syndrome are unknown. The occurrence of Sjögren's syndrome may be related to immune disorders, viral infections, environmental factors, and genetic factors.

Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic disease with local lesions as the main manifestation, and there is no effective drug in modern medicine at home and abroad, so it can only be treated symptomatically. Patients need to pay more attention to their lives, usually use a humidifier to humidify the room at home, eat a light diet, avoid eating hot food, fried food, and should not eat deer antler, cinnamon and other very dry food; Drink plenty of water, fruits, and vegetables to ensure smooth stools. However, when the symptoms are severe and systemic lesions appear, it is necessary to be active**.

2. Physiological factors: more common in the elderly, due to the decrease in lacrimal gland, meibomian gland secretion function and the decline in the salivary gland secretion function of the oral cavity, and dry mouth and eyes, relevant symptoms can be given, such as the use of artificial tears, artificial saliva for treatment;

3. Pathological factors: such as oral lichenification, rheumatology Sjogren's syndrome, conjunctivitis and other diseases, dry eyes and dry mouth can occur.

Dry mouth is a common symptom that can be caused by many factors. What causes dry mouth? I've gathered some information, and now I'm going to tell you what causes dry mouth.

1.1. External wind heat. Dry mouth and slightly more water, accompanied by fever and bad wind, pulse floating, more common in the early stage of external warm fever, fluid damage is mild. The stomach is hot and the mouth is dry and likes cold drinks, accompanied by irritability and irritability, dry stools, yellow urine, red face, red tongue, and strong pulse.

2.2. Yin deficiency. Internal heat, kidney yin is insufficient, and it cannot be overflowed from the mouth. Yin deficiency and internal heat, kidney yin deficiency, can not be overflowing the mouth. It is recommended to eat more foods that nourish and nourish yin, such as yam, medicinal food, and medicinal products, to nourish the spleen, stomach and kidneys.

3.Third, the stomach heat or liver fire is relatively large. Prevention:

Eat less fried, barbecued, sugar and other foods that are easy to get hot. **: Eat some foods or medicines that are cool, reduce fire, and nourish yin, such as:

Bitter gourd, loofah, mung bean, but it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis.

Precautions. There are many causes of dry mouth, and it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine. It is best to find a Chinese medicine practitioner to diagnose the pulse and then prescribe a prescription for conditioning. I hope this article on what is the cause of dry mouth can help everyone.

There are many causes of dry eye syndrome, but there are two main ones: one is the narrowing or blockage of the tear tract in the eye, resulting in reduced tear flow and dry eyes. The second is the long-term use of the computer, the radiation emitted by the computer phosphor screen and the rapid blood circulation in the eye, causing burning in the eye and evaporating tears, resulting in dry eye syndrome over time.

When the eyes appear dry and tearless, several symptoms will occur, such as irritability, tiredness, itching, pain, swollen eyes, wind and photophobia, etc., collectively known as 'dry eye syndrome'

The remedy is to drink more tea, especially high-quality green tea, oolong tea or Tieguanyin. Because tea is rich in carotene, it can be quickly converted into vitamin A after being absorbed by the body. Vitamin A can not only synthesize rhodopsin, but also make the eyes see clearly.

At the same time, as long as you drink tea for a month, the number of white blood cells will rise. Therefore, people who are often exposed to the fluorescent screen of the computer must develop the habit of drinking tea every day. This can not only eliminate the damage caused by the radiation emitted by the computer to the human hematopoietic function, but also prevent dry eye syndrome and improve vision.

Dietary therapy can increase vitamin A in the eyes, so it can prevent dry eyes, and can achieve a bright effect. For example, the Malays have been eating chili peppers for a long time, so they are less likely to suffer from dry eyes and myopia, which proves that eating more chili peppers helps to brighten the eyes.

There are also the following ways to prevent it:

Make it a habit to blink too much: Insufficient blinking can disrupt the integrity of the tear layer and worsen dry eye symptoms.

Don't get too close to the computer: Keep your eyes at a distance from the computer screen.

Avoid working under strong lighting: Avoid placing the computer terminal against the window, and install reflective goggles in front of the computer screen to avoid increasing the burden on the eyes.

Don't use the computer for more than 2 hours: Rest for 15 minutes before resuming every 2 hours of computer use.

Keep your computer screen clear: If there is flickering, do not continue to use it.

"Dry eye syndrome" is a general term for a large group of diseases characterized by unstable tear film due to abnormal tear quality and quantity or kinetics caused by various causes, resulting in lesions of ocular surface tissue. The main symptoms include: dryness, foreign body sensation, burning sensation, itching, eye redness, photophobia, blurred vision, fluctuating vision, visual fatigue, and intolerance to soot and dust.

Doctors believe that dry mouth is mostly caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, or caused by heat and injury, decoction and fluid. I always think that a dry mouth does not hinder the overall situation, and drinking more water can solve it. In fact, dry mouth is a sign of a variety of diseases.

Suggestions: 1) Sjögren's syndrome.

Dry mouth is one of the main symptoms of Sjögren's syndrome. His dry mouth is often unbearable, and he does not quench his thirst even if the water does not leave his mouth. The patient has reduced saliva, difficulty swallowing dry food, painful cracking of the tongue and corners of the mouth, and is prone to tooth decay.

About half of the patients have enlarged parotid glands, some patients have symptoms of submandibular gland or nearby lymph node enlargement, and some patients have joint pain, especially elbow and knee joints. In severe cases, it can cause damage to the renal tubules, causing arrhythmia and other dangerous consequences. People with Sjögren's syndrome also often have a foreign body sensation in the eye, a burning sensation, and dry nostrils that are easy to crust.

Experts remind that the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome is not difficult, but its dry mouth symptoms are often not noticed by patients and doctors, resulting in missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.

2) Diabetes.

Diabetics often have dry mouth and thirst. The typical symptoms of patients with clinical diabetes can be summarized as "three more and one less", that is, polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, and weight loss.

Polyuria includes increased urine output and frequency, and the total daily urine output can reach 3-5 liters and even up to 10 liters.

Due to polyuria, the body loses a lot of water, so the mouth is thirsty and likes to drink more. Water intake is directly proportional to blood glucose concentration, urine output, and glucose loss in the urine.

As an early sign of diabetes, dry mouth is often overlooked because other symptoms are not typical, resulting in a missed opportunity for early stage.

Experts remind that the diagnosis of diabetes is relatively easy, and high blood sugar is the main basis for diagnosing diabetes. Fasting blood glucose and postprandial blood glucose can be measured to distinguish diabetes clearly.

3) Hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism) can also cause symptoms of dry mouth. Patients with hyperthyroidism have increased energy metabolism, increased oxygen consumption, increased heat production, and accelerated heat dissipation.

Clinical symptoms are dry mouth and sweating, heat intolerance, moist and elevated temperature, goiter, and exophthalmos.

Hyperthyroidism has a slow onset, most patients cannot remember the exact onset time, and the early symptoms are not obvious, so it is easy to be ignored by patients, but if the early stage is with the help of thyroid function laboratory tests, it is easy to get a clear diagnosis.

Life care: Traditional Chinese medicine mostly nourishes the liver and kidneys, nourishes qi and moistens dryness, clears away heat and generates heat, and has good curative effects.

Patients with xerostomia can choose the following formulas**: 15 grams of Polygonatum polygonatum polygonatum (Polygonatum polygonatum polygonatum polygonatum (10 grams), 10 grams (Ophiopogon vulgaris), 10 grams (10 grams of sea cucumber), 10 grams (10 grams of lily). Drinking water instead of tea can help reduce the symptoms of dry mouth.
