Treatment For Dry Throat
I am a 47 year old woman who has had troat problems for the past 4 weeks. At first I thought it was an allergy problem but my sinus are clear and all I do is hack out yellow and greenish discharge from my troat. Also during the day I some times when swallowing feel like the back of my troat is very dry and that is usually when i need to hack out stuff out of my troat. What can this be?
