Hello
Welcome in H.C.M.
Regarding your query for dryness in throat in morning hours with pain in back and no difficulty in swallowing, it appears as you are having gastric upset as hyperacidity and this is now causing GERD.
As there is neither cough nor pain in throat this clearly rule out the infective pathology.
You may take now-
1- Antacid with PPI.
2- Avoid spicy food.
3- Drink adequate fluid.
4- Avoid smoking
5- Take proper rest.
Probably above will help you otherwise you have to consult your physician.
Regards.
