My throat is consistently a little sore and i feel dehydrated a lot of the time, even though im drinking water throughout the day and not drinking coffee, tea or alcohol that could be dehydrating me. do you possibly know why that is?

See below: One of the most common causes of increased thirst is diabetes - both type 1 and type 2 - I would make an appointment with your doctor and get an evaluation for diabetes - Until then, I would make sure that you are also replacing electrolytes -- Drinking largeamounts of plain water can lower your sodium level - which can cause additional problems.
