Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dry throat which is due to left over chronic upper respiratory tract infection or post usuage of medications for bronchitis as that make throat dry. I would suggest you to do warm saline gargles on daily basis. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages and take throat lozanges. You should take antibiotic amoxicillin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get throat swab test done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Avoid oily and sharp food. Drink plenty of fluids.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
