What Causes Dry Throat?
I have a dry throat with a feeling of a lump I cannot clear with swallowing x 10 days. No soarness but mucus in sinus. I have no tonsils or adenoids. Any ideas? I do use a saline rinse when my sinus gets really bad but this has not seemed to affect that dry patch/ lump.

dry throat felling is usually due to decreased water intake .
usually lump feeling seen when throat gets infected.
but initially u have to do salt water gargling thrice daily.
do not drink cold liquids for few days .
this is enough to control ur symptoms
