Sore throat: Yes, all of the above can cause dryness and inflammation in ur throat. Also snorring and posterior nasal drip may be the culprit. If smx persist would have ur Doctor take a look to evaluate for clinical signs of infection. Otherwise, gentle gargling with leukewarm salty water (1/2 tee spoon baking soda in 1 cup water) should take care the non-infectious causes. Feel better.
