- Mouth sores
- Changes in how food tastes
- Inflamed or irritated mouth linings
These can all contribute to throat discomfort or dryness. It's always worth mentioning any new or worsening symptoms to the care team, even ones that seem minor.

Staying well hydrated and practicing good oral hygiene can also help ease dryness during treatment.
