A member asked:
Can dehydration cause throat irritation similar to the kind you get when you have a cold? and can it cause nasal issues as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dehydration can dry out the mucus membranes and produce the symptoms you mention. Drink enough water, daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless to ensure proper hydration. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Wish you good health!
