I had septo rhinoplasty 6 days ago. I have been unable to sleep for more than an hour at a time due to extreme dry mouth. I was expecting some dryness due to breathing through mouth whilst asleep but my mouth is drying to such an extent that I am woken by the pain from my tongue cracking. It feels as though my mouth is producing very little saliva and I am going through several pints of water per night just to moisten my mouth. Is this normal and will it go away by itself or should I be contacting my consultant? I have a follow up appointment in 5 days.
