Dry coughs that continue after other cold symptoms clear or that occur without other symptoms may be caused by a variety of health problems. Some people start coughing when they breathe very dry,heated air. This can be caused by environmental irritation or allergies.
Dry air does not cause colds. Many people believe that hot, dry air can dry up the mucus in your nasal passages, leaving you more susceptible to colds. Not true, says Tallman. If you are already sick, though, moist air can help ease congestion and coughing, making your suffering a bit more bearable.
