Doctor explains causes of dry throatfrom @wyndlyteam

[01]

Overview

A doctor explains the causes of a dry throat. He starts by acknowledging dehydration as a possibility but quickly pivots to the primary cause of waking up with a dry throat: mouth breathing at night. Using an anatomical model, he demonstrates how the nose is meant to humidify air and explains that a blocked nose forces mouth breathing. He then lists potential causes for the blockage, including anatomical issues like a deviated septum and, most commonly, environmental allergies, which cause swelling and lead to the dry throat symptom.

Transcript

Why is my throat dry? A lot of people complain of having a dry throat. A dry throat can be a sign of either dehydration during the day, but typically when people wake up with a dry throat, it's usually a sign that you've been breathing through your mouth at night. Now, the nose is made to humidify the air and keep your throat warm rank cool and moist. But if your nose is blocked up, what happens is you end up breathing through your mouth at night and you wake up with a dry throat. Some of the most common causes for your nose being blocked are either anatomical issues like a deviated septum or inferior turbin hypertrophy or even nasal polyps or sinusitis. But one of the most common causes of your nose just not working the way it's supposed to is environmental allergies. That means you're getting things in your nose that irritate it, it causes swelling and you end up breathing through your mouth and you end up with a dry throat.
