The most common cause of dry throat is drying out of the mucus membranes, often as a result of exercise, sleeping with your mouth open, breathing through your mouth, living in a dry environment, or simply not drinking enough fluids.
While this type of breathing pattern generally isn't harmful in short durations it can cause the throat to become dry and raw if stress and/or anxiety are sustained. Once the throat becomes dry and raw, it can cause a persistent tickling sensation that can cause a persistent dry cough. Moreover, persistent coughing can also irritate the throat, which can cause a persistent cycle of dry throat, coughing, irritated and dry throat, coughing, and so on.
