Dry mouth and throat at night may result from “excessive internal heat” (a traditional Chinese medicine concept) or dietary factors. Consuming greasy or spicy foods can significantly contribute to this symptom. Additionally, environmental factors—such as hot weather or low indoor humidity—can also cause dry mouth and throat. There are numerous potential causes for this condition.
