Why do I have a dry cough when sitting in AC or in cold air?
Asked by Male, 32 · 2 months ago
Cold air and air conditioning reduce air moisture, which dries the throat and airways and can lead to a dry cough. AC can also circulate dust or allergens, and cold air may trigger airway sensitivity, especially in people with allergies or mild asthma.
