If you suspect you have an infection, consult a doctor, and always follow prevention and safety recommendations such as social distancing and wearing masks.

1- Dry mouth
Dry mouth is often associated with a lack of saliva for various reasons, and this problem is common during old age, especially for those who take certain medications.
