Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 138 | Does anyone else 2+ yrs post Tx ever experience a dry, sore throat during different seasons of the year? I noticed that my throat has been very parched, dry, scratchy and sore the last few weeks. Seems to coincide with lower humidity. If anyone else has this problem, what do you do to help sooth it? I use all the Biotene products and drink plenty of fluids. Nothing seems to help and I am constantly "hacking". Last year I used a cool mist humidifier and it seemed to help a little but it put mold spots all over my ceiling.
Nine years out. New normal with limitations, but surviving and living life to the fullest.
