Dry eyes may be treated with artificial tears as often as needed or an eye-lubricating ointment may be applied at bedtime. Dry mouth may be helped by sipping water throughout the day. symptoms may be mild and are commonly treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy.
