Kindly see detailed answer.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I can understand your concern. Causes of dry nose and throat are, it may be side effects of certain medications like antihistaminics, decongectant, pain killer or drugs taking for depression, anxiety. It may be due old age, inadequate hydration, nutrition, diabetes, oral fungal infections, excess use of tobacco or alcohol or any other addiction. To rule out sjogren's disease, require detailed history. Kindly follow up with detailed history.
Treatment mainly depends upon the underlying conditions. I'd suggest you to do blood sugar level. Along with that stop medications that causing dry nose and throat and change it after consultation as I mentioned earlier. Avoid tobacco and excess use of alcohol or any other addiction. Apply nasal saline drops locally. You can use artificial saliva or xylitol containing mouthwash after consultation. Along with that try to take sips of water frequently, chew gums.
I think this will clarify your concern. take care.
