Best Answer

The air entering your lungs should be at 100% humidity (at body temperature),

(Your nose is designed to take care of that.)

If not, then the respiratory tissues (closest to your mouth & nose) will be dried out -

and they can't function if desiccated.

Thus, a part of your respiratory system will be non-functional.

Does air conditioning cause a sore throat?

Not exactly. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air (so it can be very humid outside, but not inside). Removing moisture from the air contributes to dry mouth. If you are a mouth breather, you will also dry out your mouth. The dryness of room air, along with dryness from mouth breathing, can cause sore throats--especially in the morning.
