Why am I still thirsty even after drinking water?

Refluxed stomach acid dries out the oral and laryngopharyngeal mucosa.

위산 역류는 타액선(침샘) 기능을 저하시키고 구강 점막을 건조하게 만들어 구강 건조증을 유발할 수 있습니다.

  • 증상: 입안이 끈적거리고 혀가 갈라지며, 자주 물을 찾게 됨
  • 영향: 침 분비가 줄어들면 위산을 중화하는 능력이 떨어져 식도염이 악화됨
  • 악순환: 구호흡(입으로 숨쉬기)을 유발하여 목을 더욱 건조하게 만듦
💧 수분 섭취

미지근한 물을 조금씩 자주 마셔 구강과 식도를 촉촉하게 유지해 주세요.
