Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it may be due to cold.

Please let me know,
Do you have a history of heartburn, fever?
Are you taking any other medications?

Heartburn can also cause dry throat. In that case, you can take tablet pantoprazole and syrup Mucaine-gel after physician consultation.

Along with that Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid smoking/caffeine/alcohol.

Continue steam inhalation and saline gargles.

You can use sugarless gums. Keep yourself well hydrated and take a soft balanced diet.

Hope I have answered your query...
