Hello practo user
Sometimes problem in salivary glands may cause throat dryness
In some patients acidity could also lead to throat dryness
Try drinking 8to 10glasses of water
If no relief further evaluation is required

Most common cause of dryness of throat is if you have any issue in breathing through your nose. And are persistently breathing through your mouth.. So if there is any issue like that please get it corrected.. Its not anything serious but it will make you feel better if you get it checked.. Also steam inhalation at night and drinking adequate water will help
