dryness in the throat
by Smitty1005, Nov 07, 2008 06:22PM
I'm 55 years old, for the past year, I've noticed that I have a constant problem with severe dryness in my throat, it gets so dry that it makes me cough, my eyes tear and I must drink water right away as I feel as though I can't breath at times. My throat gets dry on the left side at times, and other times its the right side. If I don't have any water with me, when this dryness suddently attacks my throat, I must find a piece of hard candy to suck on to immediately generate enough saliva to get down my throat. My doctor suggested I used Astelin, but it really doesn't help that much.
What could be causing this and what do you recommend?
Thanks
