Q Hello sir, I have problem that whenever after I wake up and I brush my teeth or wash face there is small amount of blood coming out from mouth. My mouth is too dry, my lips too sir. Is this because I smoke cigarettes?
Apart from cigarette smoking, other causes leading to a dry mouth are certain medications, diabetes, nerve damage, dehydration etc. Smoking can exacerbate dryness due to any other cause. You ought to give up smoking to relieve dryness. Drink water frequently to keep yourself hydrated. Please remember that apart from dryness, bleeding from the mouth could be due to other causes such as sores, gum disease or even cancer. Do visit a physician for an examination and thorough evaluation.
