Always wake up with a sore throat. Why???

Question

Hi, I always wake up from sleeping with a sore throat, it is getting to be a painful nuisance. Any idea what might cause this - an allergy perhaps? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Answer 1

You could be breathing through your mouth all night and snoring. IF so, your throat gets very dry and the friction from snoring can cause it to be tender. Does it go away after awhile? It also could be allergies.

Answer 2

this happens to me all the time. a hudmidifier would help, but it's not necessary. this might just be because of the time of year, but if it's happening alot you might want to talk to your doctor. this isn't serious but it is quite annoying. but here are some things that could help: never sleep with a fan on your face, that will make it about ten times worse. if you wake up with a sore throat, gargle salt water. eat salt water taffy throughout the day. it sounds stupid but it will take the edge off. but if none of that is working then definitely go to a drugstore and buy some throat lozenges or gum for sore throats. good luck!

Allergies are a likely culprit. Does it occur only in the summer months? Worse during spring and fall? Take 24-hour Claratin or something similar once a day when you're experiencing the sore throat problem. Also lemon drops before sleeping will moisten your throat.

Answer 4

If I don't drink some water before I go to bed, I get a sore throat in the morning.
Do you have a fan or air conditioner running? This could be a possible cause.

Also I have found that when I sleep in dry areas I have the same thing. I know it's summer here, but try a humidifier to moisten the air.

Answer 5

I find that if I have a blocked up nose, even slightly, I sleep breathing through my mouth. When I wake up in the morning I usually have a sore throat and my tongue feels like the bottom of a parrots cage. Have you tried a quick spray of something like a Vicks inhaler? just to keep your nasal passage clear?

Answer 6

Its because you breath through your mouth when you sleep,thus causing your throat to dry up during the night and making it sore in the morning.Try sleeping in a different position and with a window open,central heating or air conditioning drys the air too much and makes the throat dry very quickly when you breath through your mouth !

Answer 7

You could very well be getting a sore throat allergy reaction. Clear out your bedroom of all the stuff collecting dust that's not needed. Curtains collect alot of dust too. Take a look at the bedding materials you sleep with. Cover your mattress and box spring with allergy covers. Your pillow could be a problem. I just tried a magic foam pillow I bought at Walmart and the chemicals coming off it made me awfully sick with a burned, sore throat. I then found out many other people are getting sick from the magic foam products. Dust and chemical fumes are problematic.

Answer 8

If you breath through your mouth while you sleep that can cause the sore throat from drying out.
You might want to try on of those nose strips to help your breathing and maybe a humidifier in your room.

Answer 9

You probably breathe through your mouth when you're asleep. This is what I do anyway, and I normally have a sore throat when I wake up. Don't know what to do about it though!
