For Xerostomia "I started using XyliGel (my dentist gave me a sample), it works wonderfully. After using it for 4 days, my gums and teeth hurt. Last night, I had to get up and brush my teeth and use mouthwash because my gums hurt so much, I was getting scared. If I bite down on anything, my teeth hurt. I am so disappointed that I can't use XyliGel anymore, it worked so well for me. Something is very wrong. I've been reading reviews on this product, and a great many people are experiencing the same thing."

For Xerostomia "My dentist recommended these to me, and I tried it last night. I have trouble with not being able to swallow my saliva at night. I went to bed fine, but an hour later, my throat started to close. My throat tightened like sandpaper, I have bumps in my mouth, my whole neck and face hurt. It took away my good saliva and gave me this thick foam saliva that was hard to swallow. I took a Claritin to at least help, but I feel like I have a bad cold now."

For Xerostomia "I use XyliMelts for dry mouth at night. I also have a CPAP machine. Recently, I developed a very large sore where one of the two XyliMelts was used. I stopped using it, and it went away."
