A dry mouth and a burning sensation in the upper part of the throat can hide serious illnesses, in particular diabetes mellitus. Writes about this Express.co.uk.
Doctors noted that dryness during diabetes is due to a decrease in saliva flow amid high blood sugar. Frequent urge to urinate, unquenchable thirst, or long wound healing may also indicate this.
In addition, dry mouth is often a sign of tooth decay or gum disease. The same symptom can be triggered by medication, as well as a nervous state or dehydration.
Previously, scientists have found that excess weight is the main risk factor for developing diabetes, and losing weight can prevent the disease or even reverse its development.
