Not enough info: you have not given your age and if you are taking any medicines. In younger individuals dry mouth and throat are often due to mouth breathing or side effects of several classes of medicines. In older individuals there is a natural decrease in saliva production that leads to dry mouth. You should discuss this with your family physician.
