Throat dryness
by worriedsick1128, Jul 23, 2008 02:54PM
For about a week now, I have been experiencing significant throat and nasal dryness. It started as a full feeling in my throat, and then now it feels like when I am just about to get a sore throat...but it is not soar when I swallow still at this point. It feels like there is just no lubrication in there, and I have no mucous whatsoever in my nose. Just won't go away, and it's more of a nagging feeling than painful. Should I be concerned? Or give it more time?

This is the pattern of many viral upper respiratory infections and should not worry you. Give it more time – it usually takes a week to clear. Just about any type of lozenges would counteract the dry throat. Nasal washes might provide some relief of the dry nose.
