That may be : The time of year that you are taking your allergy medicines the heaviest causing dryness in your mouth , thus feelings of dehydration! nasal sprays may avoid that.Talk to your doctor about it and find alternative that does not cause that.

Dehydration: Are you using oral antihistamines? If so, this has a significant drying effect that can cause symptoms of dehydration. Allergies can cause significant fluid loss due to making tons of mucus. Not to mention that allergies are a significant drain on the immune system which can cause evaporative water loss.
