Dry Throat: Hello. Dry throat could be due to a side effect of medications, are you on any prescription or OTC medications? Allergy medications are commonly used during this time of year and can cause dryness. Another consideration is your fluid intake. If you aren't drinking enough water, our saliva and mucus from the nose is thicker and not as mobile hence a "dry" feeling. I hope this helps. Good luck

Dry: Lots of things including dehydration, anxiety, allergies, medications and silent acid reflux. Start by drinking more water. If you havent seen your doctor for awhile have them check your thyroid and blood sugar as well
