sore throat in morning

Does anybody else have problems with sore throat in the morning after a nights sleep. I have a child like sippy cup at my bedside and wake up several times a night for a sip of water to wet my whistle. I had my bypass 2 years ago and have lost 88 lbs. I work out several times a week. walk 5 or 6 days a week. I am fairly active. I drink well over 64 ozs of fluid a day - mostly water. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this.

 Not sure if this is your situation, but the last couple of weeks I have been experiencing a sore throat in the mornings.  At first I thought I was getting a cold but turns out it is allergies - and I don't usually suffer from them.  I find it helpful to gargle (I use Listerine Mint but whatever you like).  I do in the morning and at night and anytime during the day when I notice my throat is bothering me.

Hope this helps

I would suggest a humidifier for your bedroom.  It will make a ton of difference. 

You might not be dehydrated, but if the air around you is dry...you might wake up like the desert!

Could be allergies or it could be the beginning of reflux.  When acid drips during the night, it irritates your throat causing pain.
