Does air conditioning contribute to a sore throat?

Question

its so hard to sleep this time of year without it, but at the same time. if you dont get enough rest. a sore throat may persist

Answer 1

no it doesnt, only if you have a habbit of sleeping with your mouth open and inhaling in cold air drys your throat out, and it will feel sore for awhile.

Answer 2

running the a/c at your home will dehumidify the air, causing you to breathe dryer air

Answer 3

It helps to have an air filter in your house if your throat is sore or getting sore.  I do believe that the ac contributes to sore throats that I get during the summer.  Usually, if I turn the ac down to low at night during the summer, I wake up with a minor sore throat, but it goes away as the day progresses.  You could try covering your mouth up with the covers, but not so much that it smothers you.

Answer 4

The A/C can dry out the air a little bit.  Buy a cool water humidfier and you sore throat will go away.

Answer 5

Cold conditions can lead to a sore throat.If your body can't adapt to the cold conditions well,you might get one soon.

But then it depends on your lifestyle and general health,so I cannot say if you will get a sore throat.

You may use a sweater,blanket or muffler to cover ur body partially to reduce the effect of the air conditioner if its too hot.

Hope you don't get a sore throat,because I have one now,due to cold conditions here(not A/C).
