Could a fan or a/c blowing on you all night cause a sore-throat..?

Question

I had to place my window unit a/c in my bedroom, and since my room is rather small -the unit blows directly on me during the night- could this cause a bad sore throat which I have now..?

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Yup.

Answer 3

Absolutely yes!  If cold air blows directly on you all night, and you sleep with your mouth open the the mucous membranes in your nose and mouth get dried out.  It may take it a while to re-hydrate itself.  So in the meantime drink plenty of fluids (Not softdrinks).  Something like water or a sports drink.  Or, try something warm like coffee or some spiced cider.  Should get better throughout the day!  If not call the Dr. you may have a bug instead.
