During the summer when I am exposed to Air conditioning in my home/office Why do I always have a sore throat?

air conditioners dry the air also. the water in  the air condensates in the cold fins of the air conditioner taking it out of the air. your throat must not like dry air.

A persistent sore throat requires medical treatment.  You may require an antibiotic.  See your doctor.

Are you in airconditioning all the time? That will do it, use a moisturiser on a regular basis, and drink plenty of water.

The Respiratory tract is vulnerable to dessication.\nTo prevent dessication, air is naturally "warmed" by the upper respiratory tract before it enters the lower tract.\nDuring winter, the air is colder may not be sufficiently "warmed".\nThis dessicates the respiratory tract lining causing it to crack.\nThese tiny cracks allow foreign bacteria and viruses to enter and cause infection or inflammation.

Susan, i do gargle with hot salt water everytime i have sore throat or cough.  this is home remedy. hot water should be bearable not very hot. it always work, do it three times after every meal, first three days and once after dinner until sore throat gone. my dentist told me, salty hot water kills germs and bacteria in the mouth and throat.

The problem with strep throat is not that it is a fever-inducing, terribly sore throat, that makes you feel awful; but rather that the infection can spread to your heart or kidneys and cause significant long term damage.\n\nIf you are running a fever greater than 100 F, you have swollen, tender lymph nodes under your jaw, and you see white spots (exudates) on the back of your throat, then go in and get an antibiotic to address the problem.  If you don't have at least two of these symptoms then it is unlikely to be strep throat.  \n\nIn that case:  Gargle with warm salt water.  Get your rest.  Drink plenty of fluids.  Use Ibuprofen or Tylenol for the discomfort.\n\nGood luck.

Make sure that the Sore throat is not caused by some other source than your usaul cough and flu.\n\n\n\nfor example make sure it is not a STD of some sort.\nYour Doctor is best to ask of course.

It's your tonsil's fault.  Those things are kinda like boogers, which is dirt that your nose traps.  Well these yellow things are bacteria, and food that your tonsils trap.  It helps you from getting sick, but it does end up giving you sore throats, and discomfort.  The most you can do is gargle with warm salted water, or Listerine.  If it becomes a real big problem, then you should go see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor.

Drink lots of cool/cold fluids and use a humidifier, especially during sleep.  Use throat lozenges and gargle with a salt water solution....if the sore throat persists, see a doctor.  Anitbiotics and in some cases steroids may be needed.  Most sore throats respond to antibiotics, however there is a disease called epiglottitis that will need immediate intervention with steroids.

You might want to check with a doctor, it may be a sinus infection if you have allergies all year round. I constantly get them.

It's not just you, it's me too!\nI haven't had my appendix out but suffer with regular chest infections and colds.\n\nMy doctor has told me having childhood illnesses like asthma, eczema, allergies to aspirin / penicillin - animals - hay etc make you more susceptible as an adult as your immune system is so sensitive to the slightest bug.\n\nMy Doctor's advice was to keep clear of those with bugs at work and get fresh air away from the office air con systems.\nHopefully now we are in spring we should all start to feel better.

because it is cold\n\nthis could happen if you have asthma, bronchitis,if you are a smoker, or are around smoke all of the time; it could also happen if you yell alot or are hoarse, or if your throat is sore; it could also happen if you have a repsiratory infection\n\ndo you cough every single time you have ever eaten it? if not, it is no big deal, but if it happens every now and then it would be because of the things I listed above

Increase your liquid intake and make sure your house is humidified properly.\nGargle with warm salt water (¼ teaspoon salt to ½ cup water) several times a day.\nDrink a glass of hot water with 1 teaspoon lemon juice and some honey. You'll feel better instantly. You can also drink a chamomile tea with lemon and honey added.\nCut a lemon into 2 pieces. Take one piece and put some salt and black pepper on it, press with a knife so that salt-pepper penetrate into the lime. Put the lemon on heat to make it warm. Slowly lick this lemon squeezing it until no juice remains. Do it 2-3 times a day.\nChives and scallions are helpful for a sore throat when simmered in water for 5 minutes. Drink as a tea.\nFigs, beets are beneficial in sore throat.\nEat garlic. Garlic is an anti-septic and good for many conditions.\nTake over-the-self pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Motrin IB®, Advil®).\nuse commonsense hygeine.

have u ever been checked for allergies. allergies can sometimes cause sore throats. is is a strep? i think the rule of thumb is if u have 4 streps in one year they take it out. anyway if it is allergies it won't do any good to remove the tonsils because your throat would still hurt. \n\ni suffer from allergies and my main symptom is a sore throat. i have not had tonsils for  over 10 years now and i still get the sore throat.

no, and your throat shouldn't be itching, perhaps you have strep throat
