Air conditioners give you a sore throat?
Question:
Is this normal? why does this happen?
Answers:
Air conditioning itself may contribute to infection with common cold viruses. The lining of the nose is covered with a thin layer of mucus which protects against infection. Since air conditioners extract moisture from the air they may cause some drying of the protective mucous blanket in the nose and predispose to infection. The cold air may also help viruses to establish a hold in the nose as they reproduce better in a cold nose.
Yes, because it makes you cold easily and the air goes in your body quicker and makes you sick. That has happened to me too.
Cool air is usually dryer which can give you a sore throat. Also not a lot of people clean their air conditioners so the dust in it could be irritating your throat.
This tends to happen to me alot. I honestly dont have a medical answer but i know when it get really cold or cold air circulates i get sore throats. I also get that when i sleep with my hair wet or when it rains or if the room is moist. I wish i knew the answer aswell but i guess im letting you know your not alone.
