Dry Mouth & Lips

Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
Is there anything you can take (apart from water) to combat dry mouth and lips? (like take in advance?)

In particular when perhaps part of it is caused by your state of mind ... like a fear of public speaking or in stressed situations like an interview?

I find in interviews for example my mouth goes dry and if I don't have a cup of water next to me I'm stuffed!!

I guess chewing gum would help, dunno what else .. could mouth wash be bad for this? I know most contain alcohol of some sort and that's like a drying agent?
