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?

I'm really worried about this sore throat I keep getting every morning for the past few days. I make sure to drink water before bed and sometimes even in the middle of the night, but it doesn't seem to help. I've noticed I mostly sleep with my mouth closed too. Could you give me some advice on what might help? Also, I don't drink tea or coffee before bed, just so you know.

It sounds like you might be experiencing dryness in your throat, possibly due to mouth breathing during sleep or environmental factors. Try using a humidifier at night to keep the air moist, and consider drinking a glass of water before bed. If the issue persists, it might be worth checking for allergies or mild reflux, which can also cause throat irritation.

I've been having trouble sleeping at night because my adenoids have gotten pretty big, and my nose keeps getting blocked. I'm really hoping to find a way to reduce their size without having to go through surgery. Any advice on what I should do?

Many people with enlarged adenoids have few or no symptoms and do not need treatment. Adenoids shrink as a child grows older. Your provider may prescribe antibiotics or nasal steroid sprays if an infection develops. Surgery to remove the adenoids (adenoidectomy) may be done if the symptoms are severe or persistent.
