How to Relieve Dry Mouth After Vomiting

• 1

  Place one ice cube in your mouth. Do not chew it; just allow it to dissolve naturally. After this ice cube melts, you can repeat as many times as you want, but never place more than one ice cube in your mouth at a time. This will help restore some of the fluids lost in your mouth from vomiting.

• 2

  Place one piece of hard candy in your mouth when you are done with your ice. The sugar in the candy will help increase salivation in your mouth, which will help to relieve the dry mouth from vomiting. You can repeat, but again only place one piece of candy in your mouth at a time to prevent choking.

• 3

  Drink an 8-ounce glass of Gatorade. This contains fluids and electrolytes that are lost from vomiting. Once you have replaced your fluids, your dry mouth will go away.

• 4

  Swish a small amount of water around in your mouth. Your mouth will absorb part of the water, which will help to relieve dry mouth from vomiting.
