Throat congestion and scratchy

[Bob9656]

I have to keep my throat moist or it will start getting scratchty and I will start coughing. I am seeing a Doctor for bronchitis but this is not always in my lungs, just in my throat,. Do I need a humidifier to keep the air moist? Also, when I sleep, even if my mouth is shut, my throat still drys out. I keep water at hand. Is there anything else I can do?

Welcome to the gastroenterology community!  Do you take any medications?  A lot of medications can cause a try mouth or throat.
