Hi, you need to see an ENT and a complete ENT examination is must. there is need for ruling out sinusitis and an Xray or a CT scan may be required. The throat symptoms can be because post nasal drip and dryness of mouth is usually due to nose remaining blocked. So addressing the nasal obstruction par should improve that problem. Regards
