Don’t just treat the symptoms with chemicals etc. Try to find the cause.
Mouth breathing leading to dry throat could come from allergies-- a stuffy nose preventing nose breathing
Climate: If its worse in winter, when the furnace is running, try a humidifier.
Old age can thin mucus linings. try a humidifier. House humidity should be no less than 25%.

@kb1942 I was always told I had dry mouth by doctors, dentists, whoever.
My new G.I. has me drinking TWO LITRES of water daily for my G.I. problems and guess what, no more dry mouth! It's a lot of water to drink daily, but it's working for me on many levels - dry mouth, gut, complexion, bladder. True, you pee a lot, but for me, I always had a weak stream, and now have a healthy flow. I keep a one-litre jug in the fridge so it's easy to tell how much I still have to drink, as the second jug empties.
