Extremely dry mouth and sore throat that comes and goes. no other flu symptoms. could this be something serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your PCP: There are many causes of dry mouth (xerostomia) including: mouth breathing, certain medications, lifestyle (smoking) and systemic illnesses (diabetes). Some causes are easily correctable, others are more difficult to treat. Taking good history may be helpful to find the cause and can be of significant value when treating dry mouth symptoms
