What to do about dry throat?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
DEPENDS: Dry throat may self limiting as in a viral 'cold' or after a night lying on your back-snoring. If dry mouth persists you may have a syndrome called 'sicca syndrome or sjogrens syndrome' which is an 'auto-immune disorder'. An associated symptom is 'dry eyes.' simple blood tests can sort out the cause.

One option: I agree with dr. Seely. Consider gargling with aloe vera juice twice a day & hydrate well.
