Intermittent dry mouth is common and is reversible by providing adequate oral hydration, stress management, and diet and lifestyle changes.When xerostomia becomes a chronic condition,investigation of the contributing causes and conditions is required.While having dry mouth may be bothersome, it can also be debilitating. Here, the role of saliva is reviewed with an eye to how its functional impairment effects oral and systemic health. The many signs and symptoms of xerostomia are described to facilitate its identification and treatment. The causes of xerostomia are varied and wide-ranging, and several are explored here as are various medical and non-medical treatment options. Included are 6 case vignettes gleaned from interviews of patients with xerostomia who remedied their symptoms, all or in part,usinga specific toothpaste and oral rinse, ClōSYS. These interviews, conducted by this author with the support of Rowpar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., demonstrate that ClōSYS is a safe, viable option for those striving to optimize self-care at home. Health care practitioners can help patients with xerostomia, not only by lessening their symptoms and preventing complications, but also by providing resources, education and support.","PeriodicalId":124398,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122527820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A case report and review of the literature. Case Report: A 34-year-old Caucasian man presented with acute onset haemoptysis and dyspnoea, on an 8-month progressive history of a foreign body sensation in the throat. Nasendoscopy revealed a large vascular mass occupying the pharynx and larynx, causing intermittent and frequent airway obstruction. The patient suffered from a cardiorespiratory arrest, and underwent emergency resuscitation, cricothyroidotomy and subsequent tracheostomy. Once stabilised, a planned excision of the mass was conducted and histology confirmed it to be a benign haemangioma. A Respiratory review had been undertaken two years previously and a clinical diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea concluded, following sleep studies. A nasendoscopy had never been performed. Following excision of the lesion his apnoea resolved; suggesting it was the cause of his obstructive sleep apnoea. Conclusions: The evaluation of patients with suspected obstructive sleep apnoea should be conducted with a multidisciplinary approach involving both Respiratory and Otolaryngology teams. We suggest that as part of their work-up, all patients should undergo nasendoscopic examination of the upper aerodigestive tract in order to exclude mechanical causes of airway obstruction.","PeriodicalId":124398,"journal":{"name":"Open Journal of Otolaryngology","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127465808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
