Why dose my throat get real dry?

Because you're body is still dehydrated.  The only fluid that truly hydrates the body is water.  All other beverages are digested through the digestive system as though they were a food - just learned this after being in the hospital with dehydration from seizures and stroke occuring at the same time - I now have to drink 120 ozs of water a day or my body feels sluggish and undernourished - if I drink another beverage - I have found it is usually unsatisfying as far as quinching thirst.  If your water is from your tap it may have a chemical in it you're reacting to - so I would suggest bottled water.

Soar Throat on and off?\n\nThe tonsils in our throat are cleansing organs, a part of our immune system. When we cleanse too fast, like in the sun (the sun helps us cleanse), they are more burdened.\n\nWhen we are acid (from herbicides, pesticides, fabric softeners, acid-forming food etc.) the tonsils have to work harder and may be, beyond their capacity. Best is to measure one's pH with a roll of pH paper and keep it at 7.5, which is alkaline. pH paper is available at health food stores.\n\nWhat I would do:\n* eat more alkaline-forming food, gradually increasing,\n* stop eating white sugar and white flour products,\n* help the tonsils with homeopathic Kalium Muriaticum and Ferrum Phosphoricum,\n* discontinue toxins in the house (moth balls contain poisonous arsenic, give off fumes),\n* use Dinshah Color MedicineTM - shining certain frequencies on the body with a reading lamp and color gels, or\n* go on a 1-2 day juice fast with carrot-beet juice\nor\n* a combination of some.\n\nIt is important to cleanse, but also not to cleanse too fast, for this stresses our body.\n\nMay you be healthy and happy, alkaline.\nCordially, India.Magica

i just bought a humidifier from walmart. if the problem is your sinus drying out. dry throat in the morning dip your pinky into some vasaline and rub in inside your nostrels. this should keep you from drying out overnight.

It is the dry air which causes such a problem.  Check for the humidity levels as undue dryness will aggravate your problem.

It is called a uvula. I think laryngitis can cause it to inflame, so can tonsilitis. You may need to take antibiotics to cure that

There are many reasons your throat could be sore. It may be acid reflux. Taking Pepcid AC "may" alleviate it.\nMaybe you're sleeping under a fan? Try turning it off.\nMaybe the air in your home is too dry & you need to run a humidifier.\nMaybe you have post nasal drip & need to try a sinus med.\nGo buy something called Kefir. It's a drinkable yogurt. 9 X more potent that yogurt, & a hint more tart. It boosts the immune system. You can also try some goldenseal/echinacea.\nGood luck. Hopefully, something will ring a bell...

It can. but lots of times if you have a hard time swallowing it could be due to swollen glands.

Sounds like you have to get more air circulating.\nChances are you have a carpet in your room also.\nDust has to be removed off dressers. Carpets really get\nimbedded time over time with dust among other things.\nThese things absorbs moisture and good air flow which can cause your dryness. Hopefully you are not around smoke neither, smoke from woodburning can cause it too. Good Luck

Go to the ER or Nearest Immediate Care Clinic. Chances are you have strep or tonsilitis but throat swelling can be an allergic reaction to something you ate or took. If that is the case you will need to go to the ER.

Sounds like you may have a sore throat that is causing the blood.  Try gargling with warm water with a little salt in it.

Usually it is due to throat irritation, especially if it was from a sore throat first. Normally the mucosa of the throat should be moist, but because of some infection, the throat becomes somewhat dry, thus more sensitive, shown as a dry cough, usually frequent dry cough. \nYou can try sipping water frequently, some times this can help. You can also try OTC drugs containing Dextrometrophan, which is a cough supressant, indicated for dry coughs. If it still doesn't get better, codein is a stronger cough supresant, but you will need a doctor's prescription for this.\nHope you get well soon!

its super yucky but rinsing/gargling with warm salt water really eases the throat pain.  mix it up really good, 1 part salt to about 4 parts water, hold your nose, take a sip, gargle and spit.  you may just have a virus that is irritating everything so start with some anti-inflamatory meds like ibuprofen (advil) every 4 hours and gargle and just let it run its course.  still achy in a day or 2?  white dots on tonsils?  possible strep bacteria...go get some antibiotics from the doc :)

Ha! This is a great question! I have thought about this one myself! while in College, I took a speech class, and I soon found out the answer to this! When one talks for a long period of time while being nervous, the mouth will dry up like a piece of cotton because all of the needed fluids go to other places (the hands, feet...sweating...gross isn't it?). My Speech Teacher told the entire class to drink water instead of any other fluid, because it was/is the only fluid to not make the mouth even more dry! So, to test this(I thought that she was crapping me!) I decided to drink a soda while giving a speech....I could barely talk due to the dryness! Water is the only fluid that keeps the mouth from being so dry in such a situation!

you may have tonsilitis or a sore throat if has been with you since 2nd week of oct you should have gone to the doctor and should never have  home remedied yourself! i think its just a plain sore throat but get medical advice. keep away from straining your  voice. lifting and pushing heavy objects and stay away from cold drinks, cold rooms and alcohol and cigarettes (smoking and second hand smoke) until you figure out what you have.
