Hello,
Welcome to HCM
I had gone through your history and understand your concern.
The symptoms of increased thirst, followed by symptoms of infection in the oral cavity and throat.Most common reasons for increased thirst are
Infections
A recent salty or spicy meal,
Diabetes,
Loss of body fluids.
As your symptoms of infection is setting on, it may be the reason for the increased thirst, mean while other causes of increased thirst should be rule out.
Because thirst is the body's signal to replace water loss, it is usually appropriate to drink plenty of liquids.
If your symptoms of throat infection increases you may required to take medicines.
I suggest you to consult your doctor for proper medicine and treatment.
Feel free to post the query. I am happy to answer your query.
