Sore Throat
If someone's mouth is dry, chances are that their throat is also dry. A dry throat may mean that the person is breathing through their mouth and not getting the benefits of the natural air filtering that the nose provides.
As a result, the bacteria that would have been filtered by the nose enters the throat and infects it, causing an uncomfortable sore throat. It's important to make a conscious effort to breathe through the nose.
