As stated, allergies are a very common cause of dry throat and are usually accompanied by other symptoms such as a stuffy nose, sneezing, itchy and watery eyes, and a cough. These symptoms are generally caused by an immune system reaction to certain elements in the air, such as pollen or pet dander.
