secretion of saliva and tears due to the inability and as a result dry mouth;
stinging eyes-a feeling of dryness occurs. Called the parotid gland, located in
front of the ear, intermittent swelling and pain of the major salivary glands

should be questioned. Dry eye complaints may not be dominant; and necessarily
the eye examination should also be performed. Some blood tests also are
referred to as (RF, FAN anti-SSA (Ro) Anti-SSB (La), etc.). If necessary, a
biopsy of the salivary gland is done. This biopsy is usually a minor surgical
procedure with the lower lip is made from. Also for a more objective assessment
