THROAT ISSUE: Could be something simple like dryness. Try simple remedies first like throat lozenges. In the in the absence of pain, swelling, foreign body sensation or difficulty swallowing/breathing, there does not appear to be an emergent need for evaluation or concern. If symptoms do not resolve or if you develop any of the above, more prompt clinical evaluation by a physician would be recommended.
