Since the evening started my throat has been dry. The rest of my mouth isn t though and I have no other symptoms. All night I have been swallowing thinking it will temporarily help so I can sleep but it isn t. It is affecting my conscious and unconscious mind as I am swallowing to relieve my throat in my dreams too. I even got up to get a drink.. What could be wrong?
Hello Looking at your description this could be caused by inflammation or drying effect.
I would advise you tofollow these guidelines you should do gargling with warm saline water or a mouth wash You can take steam inhalation to make it moist and soothe.
Here I would like to know more information for better assessment of the condition like Are you having cough or symptoms of cold ? Do you smoke?
Please write back to me with more relevant information so that I will be able to tell you more accurately. Best wishes
