A member asked:

Everytime i eat dry foods like biscuits, my throat feels like it is being cut and it will hurt for days. is there anything wrong with my throat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like: you are not producing enough saliva, one of its functions is to provide enough lubrication for dry foods before you swallow. There are many conditions, some of them serious, that can cause dry mouth, so you should consult your doctor.
