10 Causes of a Sore Throat
Cause #10: Dry Air
Sore throat can occur due to different temperature and humidity as these factors affect the mucous membranes lining the throat. Dry air can result in discomfort of the throat and it tends to be worse in the morning upon waking up.
This is most commonly seen in winter months where the dry cold air pulls the moisture from the airways causing them to dry out resulting in a sore throat. Individuals who experience sore throat due to dry air may experience some relief if they use a humidifier in the room they sleep in.
