While dry mouth and mouth sores aren't directly mentioned in the search results, these symptoms could be related to medication side effects or swallowing issues that are common in Parkinson's. Since you're experiencing pain and discomfort, it's important to:

1. Discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they may need to adjust your medications
2. Consider working with a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who can evaluate your swallowing function
3. Ask about getting a swallowing assessment to rule out any underlying issues

Your healthcare team can develop a specific treatment plan to address these uncomfortable symptoms while maintaining effective management of your Parkinson's symptoms.
