Suggest Remedy For Dry & Sore Throat

61, weight 135, No medical problems, perfect health, never had a snoring problem.
Noticed throat dried out the last few nights due to snoring. Drank water, not much help. Woke up this evening due to dry throat and now it feels like something is torn. I can cough and something attached is moving to my mouth area. I swollow and it moves to my throat. Throat is very sore and I have to swollow alot.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your query you have symptoms of dry and sore throat which seems to be due to severe upper respiratory tract infection travelling down pharynx and leading to these symptoms.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles with pinch of salt water. Take expectorants. Steam inhalation is very effective for you. You should consult ENT specialist without any delay. Doctor may order blood test, throat swab test and may prescribe antibiotics Amoxicillin or penicillin along with decongestants and mucolytic agents. Avoid intake of outside of food.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
