    Here's a new one for you

    I've had some swelling and pain around my jawline and neck, so I went to the doctor today.

    You're going to love this one.....clogged up salivary gland. The script? Antibiotics and butterscotch candy. LOL! Seems my mouth isn't watering enough lately? ROFL! Umm...okay. We compromised and I told him it had to be sugar free..he said to try that for 48 hours and if it's not better to go for the nasty stuff.

    I don't have enough spit? HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

    Since I can't stand butterscotch, he would have had to find a different flavor!

    How much water are you drinking?

        Was there a reason it was "butterscotch" ... or would any flavor of hard candy do?

        Also ... keep in mind that the sugar alcohols in the s/f can upset your stomach.

          I doubt if they'll upset it more than the antibiotics...kind of sensitive to those. As for the candy...he specified butterscotch. Personally, I don't much care for hard candies, but it'll do for a day or so.

            I wonder if butterscotch is his favorite?!

              ROFL ...I suspect it is. He probably figured it would stimulate the salivary glands and make Niko...well ,salivate outta that clogged gland.

              Is there sugar free butterscotch candy?

                  I bought the werther's candies and have managed a whole....ONE today. As for the whole salivating over the doc...he *did* resemble a skinny Mario Lopez. If he could manage to keep his mouth shut, I might be able to muster up a bit of drool..lol.

                        My mom has this! She doesn't produce enough saliva at times. they recommended lemon drops for her because they help produce it. It doesn't have anything to do with your water consumption. It doesn't happen all the time, but she keeps them on hand for when it does.

                        Hope you can find something that works!!
