Dry mouth after infusion may be due to an adverse reaction to the medication, or increased blood flow. Symptoms can be relieved by appropriate drug reduction and hydration.
1. Adverse drug reactions: When patients need intravenous drip diuretics, such as furosemide injection, due to sodium retention, it may lead to serious water loss, thus resulting in the symptom of dry mouth after infusion. At this time, you need to follow the doctor’s instructions to reduce the dose of drip, and at the same time, you can use a cotton swab dipped in water to apply to the lips to relieve the symptoms.
2. Accelerated blood flow: When patients undergo infusion due to fever, cold, etc., the heat dissipation mechanism will accelerate blood flow throughout the body, and the increase in blood concentration will result in the decrease of water in the patient’s body, which will lead to the phenomenon of dry mouth. At this time, we need to supplement water in the infusion process, drink more warm water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate sleep and rest, in order to promote the recovery of body fluids.
In addition, during the treatment period, we should pay attention to reducing the intake of spicy and stimulating foods, such as chili peppers, peppercorns, etc. At the same time, we should ensure that the room is ventilated and keep the temperature and humidity appropriate, which can help to alleviate the symptoms.
After infusion of dry mouth and does not relieve, should be timely consultation, under the guidance of the doctor to identify the causes of active treatment, to avoid delaying the condition.
