I've had a problem for the past weekend that my throat seems to be very dry and slightly sore. The kind of feeling when I'm thirsty but when I try to drink it gets better, but it comes back later. When I breath in through my nose it gets dryer, and when I swallow I can slightly feel the pain in my throat. When I try to cough up - well not exactly cough, up mucus (because sometimes it helps when I have a dry throat pain in the morning) I can feel the pain. When I spit out the mucus I cough up, I feel fine but comes back later like when I drink. I'm getting worried there's something wrong with my throat and I'm embarrassed to tell anyone. Help?
