Hi Amy,
When I first started taking MtX I found that I had a very dry mouth for a day or two after taking my dose. I found sucking on mints helped just to keep the mouth feeling normal. As for running hot, that is a very common side effect but it won't be found in the literature as it's not a medically relevant side effect. I still run hot on the day I take MtX but you do get used to it. The dry mouth settles down after a couple of months but if it continues I would maybe speak to your GP.
Hope that's helped.
