Physiological reasons
Dry throat is also related to the wetness of the environment. When the weather is dry, the skin and throat will feel dry. If you usually talk more, the dry and painful throat will be more obvious. This situation is generally a normal physiological phenomenon, which can be relieved by drinking more water to keep your throat moist.
There are also some discomfort symptoms such as dry throat and pain caused by pathological causes, such as colds, nasal congestion, sleep apnea, pharyngitis , tonsillitis , Sjogren's syndrome , thyroid cancer , laryngeal cancer , laryngeal cancer , etc.
1. Precursor to cold
Many people have a cold precursor to throat pain, because tonsils are the human body's lymph nodes and organs. They belong to the human body's immune system and have the effect of resisting foreign harmful substances and bacteria. When some bacteria appear inside the body, the tonsils will grab these bacteria and respond promptly to make an immune response, using inflammation to warn the body, so this is why we have a sore throat every time we catch a cold. Next, the symptoms of a cold will appear one after another, such as fever, runny nose, nasal congestion, etc.
2, pharyngitis
pharyngitis refers to the nonspecific inflammatory reaction of the throat mucosa, submucosal and lymphatic tissue. According to the length of the disease, it can be divided into acute pharyngitis and chronic pharyngitis .
Acute pharyngitis often manifests as sore throat, which worsens the pain when swallowing, and redness, swollen and congested throat. Chronic pharyngitis is often caused by repeated attacks of acute pharyngitis, or long-term irritation of the throat with excessive sound, smoking, gastroesophageal reflux disease, etc. It is often manifested as foreign body sensation, dry itch or pain in the pharynx, accompanied by throat clearing or irritating cough, and more lymphoid follicular hyperplasia can be seen in the posterior wall of the pharynx.
3, tonsillitis
tonsillitis is a nonspecific inflammation of the palatal tonsillus. It is a condition of acute or chronic inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsillus, usually caused by viral infection or bacteria. The main symptoms are pharynx discomfort, sore throat, burning sensation, foreign body sensation, and hoarse voice. It is easy to cause complications such as fever, drowsiness, , and soreness, weakness and weakness of limbs.

After the autumn begins, many people will experience dry nose, dry lips, sore throat and other symptoms of dryness. However, if the eyes are always dry and uncomfortable, and the mouth is dry, you must be careful of another type of dryness - "Sjogren's syndrome". Sjogren's syndrome is not only the symptoms of dry mouth and eyes, but a series of organs are dry and there will be many symptoms. The main organs that Sjogren's syndrome damage are exocrine glands, such as the sweat glands, lacrimal glands, and salivary glands, and the typical symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome are: dry mouth, dry eyes, and dry skin. However, other exocrine glands and organs such as the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and urinary tract will be affected.

Among them, sore throat is a common symptom of thyroid cancer. When the lesions compress or invade the throat, it is easy to cause pain.
Although sore throat is a very common symptom, when we have sore throat, we should still pay attention to it, go to the hospital in time, actively cooperate with doctors to treat, and let doctors help everyone to avoid unnecessary serious consequences.
