I've been waking up with a dry and sore soft palate every morning for over a year now, especially on colder days. It also tends to get sore and dries out when I'm breathing through my nose without swallowing during the day. I notice I feel a bit feverish when it gets dry and sore, although that fades after I swallow. I've been using Nasivin nasal drops for over a year, which is when these issues began. Could there be a connection? What might be causing this, and what should I do about it?

I've been experiencing some issues with my voiceits not coming out clearly and there's a bit of hoarseness. I visited an ENT specialist, and they mentioned something about a phonatory gap being the cause. I'm really keen to know, is there a permanent solution for this? Any advice would be appreciated.

My nose feels really dry, and I can even feel the dryness when I'm breathing. It's uncomfortable, and I've tried putting on some Vaseline, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Is there anything else I should be doing to help with this dryness?

I recommend using a saline nasal spray to help moisturize your nasal passages. You can also try using a humidifier in your room to add moisture to the air. If the dryness persists, you can use a nasal gel like Rhinase to help lubricate your nasal passages.
