One of the things about ketosis is the bad breath of course... but one of the main reasons of the bad breath is dry mouth...

Another sign of water deprivation is chapped or peeling lips...

My dad was actually drinking too much water to where it messed up his sodium levels which became too low... (Hyponatremia) I would suggest keeping your salt at the normal intake that you are used to and if the thirst returns, find foods to add that are water based.

Another thing I noticed, when I have severe dry mouth, brushing my teeth again and gargling with mouth wash also helps, for an hour anyway...
