Dry syndrome cannot be cured.
Dry syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disease that mainly involves salivary glands, lacrimal glands and other exocrine glands, the specific cause of which is still unclear, and patients often suffer from parotid gland swelling and pain, dry mouth, dry eyes, dental caries and other symptoms, which can’t be cured or eradicated, and the prognosis is relatively good for patients whose lesions are only limited to exocrine glands, and patients who suffer from internal organ damages can be controlled by active and standardized treatments.
The treatment of dry syndrome is based on general treatment and medication. General treatment includes drinking more water, quitting smoking and drinking, keeping the mouth clean, rinsing the mouth frequently, avoiding drugs that cause dry mouth, and paying attention to eye hygiene. Drug treatment includes glucocorticoid, such as methylprednisolone, immunosuppressant, such as azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and so on.
It is recommended that patients with dry syndrome go to the rheumatology and immunology department of regular hospitals for consultation and standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of doctors. The medication should be used according to the doctor’s instructions, do not self-medicate.
