Extreme dry mouth?!
Question:
Extreme dry mouth?
hey guys. i have a basketball game today and i have one problem. whenever i play i get a very dry mouth... even if i drink. i dont get queasy or anything, but i feel like i cant swallow. my dad thinks its because i breathe heavily out of my mouth when i run. what do you think?
Answers:
If you can handle chewing gum during the game without swallowing it, it will force you to salivate more. Many professional atheletes do it, and i do it when i run, it helps a lot, just be sure not to swallow it or loose it on the court. Also yes you need to stay hydrated, but when you work out hard your body salivates less.
