Help with air conditioning and dry mouth

[greenfingers]

My sister is going on a coach trip and the coach has air conditioning, she is struggling with a dry nose and mouth with Sjogrens also she has earache with it.

She wonders if anyone on here has any tips on how to cope on the journey to relieve the symptoms please?

Xylimelts. I can’t live without them. Also suck on sugar free Dr. John’s Healthy sweets, sour candies to unplug clogged parotid glands which cause soreness around ears.

Thanks for replying but on reading about Erythritol I doubt she’ll be using them but thanks all the same.

Just on a different note the industry I work in I have seen what goes into artificial sweetener and it’s not good, just one ingredient is Arsenic the others are equally as bad.

The ingredient in Xylimelts is Xylitol and not Erythritol, according to manufacturer’s info.

I use Xylimelts or chew gum to keep my mouth moist. I was recently told by my ENT consultant to rub a little vaseline inside of my nostrils !

I agree with the use of Erythritol which can cause diarrhoea which is the last thing needed when traveling by coach.

I hope your sister enjoys her trip.

I’m not sure she has tried that but I will tell her, thanks.

If she suffers with hayfever then not wise else the allergens will stick to the vaseline.

Ok thanks.
