For dry mouth, over-the-counter artificial saliva substitutes (such as carboxymethylcellulose sprays or gels) can provide relief. Prescription medications like pilocarpine or cevimeline can also help stimulate your salivary glands. For the loss of taste and smell, daily olfactory training (sniffing essential oils like rose, lemon, and eucalyptus) is a highly effective, drug-free therapy. Nasal corticosteroid sprays can help if inflammation is present, and zinc supplements are sometimes beneficial. Because these symptoms can stem from past viral infections, medication side effects, or other treatable conditions, I highly recommend consulting your doctor to determine the exact cause and get a tailored treatment plan.
