Hi, I am a female, 32 yo. Last night I woke up with scratchy throat . It happens to me when I am sick, but at the moment I do not have cold or coughs. I happened to me about a moth ago twice ( two separate nights). Again I wasn t sick. It happens only during night and always awakes me. It is so scratchy that tears are running down my face - not from pain, just discomfort. It last only for a minute or so. Why is it happening?? I do not smoke or snore.
