What Are The Symptoms Of Respiratory Track Infection?

My soft palate/back of my nose has been getting dry, with a small amount of mucous (yellow-ish). I have no symptoms of an upper respiratory tract infection other than waking up with some mucous in the back of my nose/soft palate, and a little bit in my throat.

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
You seems to suffer from -Post-Nasal pharyngitis with yellow phlegmn.
This is not the symptom of Lower respiratory/ or respiratory infections.
This is localized infection with inflammation-which makes pharynx more dry from blast of incoming nasal air.
So proper care of the pharyngeal and soft palate health,by gargles and cleaning with antiseptic-listerin gargles.
Plenty of fluids and steaming of the respiratory passages would help it to recover fast.
Tab Motrin-1 x 2 times a day-would recover this upper pharyngitis fast.
Antibiotics may be added if things don't recover in 2 days time.
Hope this would help you to plan further care of this complex illness of yours.

If need be, update any health issue 24 x 7 by a direct question to ME, at following HCM link-
