    Default Air conditioning hurts my throat

    Does this happen to anyone else? I can't survive without it in this heat, yet if I use it for more than a few days in a row (especially if I sleep with it on), my throat hurts really bad.
    Does anyone know why this happens or how to prevent it? I am in the desert so it's really hard to just use a fan instead.

    Have you cleaned it lately? The built up dust can spew back into the air and into your throat. Maybe you can use a humidifier too. That used to happen to me too....wake up with a bunch of boogies in my nose and dry mouth.

    It's brand new actually. They just installed it a few weeks ago.

    I did start using the humidifier again yesterday but haven't seen a huge improvement. Maybe I should just keep going with it and see if it helps any.

    Air conditioning works by dehydrating the air. Drink more water and you may feel better.

    My sinuses always kill me if I'm in AC for too long(which in south Fl is..umm..always) so i keep a saline flush to squirt when it gets bad

    It hurts me too. Kick up the humdifier and that should help. I HATE air-conditioning, but I don't have it in my apartment anyway... fortunately I live in an old apartment that was built before AC was widespread, so it's designed for good airflow through the windows and I get by fine with open windows and a fan.

    Back in Memphis people crank the hell out of their AC and it drives me nuts. It'll be 97 F outside and 64 F inside, and I spend the whole summer with a cold from the temperature swings. No, thank you.

    I am still clueless about what to do for it, but AC kills me. I get sore throats... sneezing... ear aches... I hate it. The heat here can kill but if I'm in super cooled places for more than an hour, I'm all sick and gross.

    I dont use a/c either. It makes my throat sore as well. I guess I'm allergic to "fake air" lol...I will on occasion turn the a/c on, but it's not at a freezing cold temp. I also can't sleep w/ air conditioner on.

    Most people use swamp coolers here in Tucson which cooler the air with water. OTOH fake heat kills my throat! I hope the humidifier starts to help.

    Wow, there's a lot of us, huh? My glands get so swollen sleeping with AC.

    But, I have to deal with it, because I can't sleep when it's hot either.
