The Throat And Nose That Connect In The Esophagus Feels Dry And Swallowed Pain

good afternoon doc, I often feel this when I go home, and it happens that the weather here is quite cold. Every time I wake up in the morning if I feel often I feel my throat dry but not thirsty and also the nasal passages that connect to my throat are painful when I swallow. This makes me a little lazy to talk because my nose and throat hurt. What are the causes, doc? And how to overcome it? Please help doc, thank you …

Hello, thank you for the question to HealthReplies.com
Areas with cool temperatures tend to have low humidity. This low humidity often causes the airway mucosa to become drier, especially during sleep because during sleep your body will also experience a little dehydration (as long as you don't drink fluids while expelling fluids from your body continues). This is likely to cause discomfort and pain in your nasopharyngeal area (the area between the nose and throat). Pain in the throat usually can also occur if you have a habit of breathing from the mouth, for example because you have a blockage in your nose (either due to nasal polyps, deviation of the nasal septum), or because of enlarged adenoid glands. Some other possible causes of nasopharyngeal area pain and throat when you wake up include:
GERD or stomach acid disease
sinusitis or inflammation of the sinuses
tonsillopharyngitis or inflammation of the tonsils and pharynx
The following are some things you can try to do:
Try to drink a glass of warm water when you wake up
Place a humidifier in your bedroom
Avoid eating too much before you sleep
Avoid eating foods that are too fatty, too spicy, and too sour
Avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and coffee and soft drinks too
If you have excess weight, reduce your weight
If your symptoms persist, check with your ENT doctor when the corona virus pandemic is over.
So much information from me, hopefully enough answer
