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 throat dryness, which seems to be due to upper respiratory tract infection and post nasal drip.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take steam inhalation and do warm saline gargles. Avoid cold carbonated beverages and sharp spicy food. You should visit ENT specialist once and get it examined completely as it can cause irritation and infection in throat that is lead to cough reflex and go for certain tests like blood test, throat swab test and respiratory function test. Doctor may prescribe antibiotics (Amoxicillin or Penicillin) and nasal decongestants.

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