I've been dealing with this issue for the past couple of weeks and it's really starting to worry me. My throat is constantly dry, and it's really painful when I try to swallow my saliva. It's strange though, because I can swallow food and water just fine. This dry throat thing is just nonstop all day and I'm kind of at a loss here. What do you think might be going on? Could it be something serious?
