Can winter air cause sore throats? i been getting a sore throat once every other week

Not as an illness: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or another cause such as irritants or allergies (especially spring time). Usually, one sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to look for strep). Cold air might cause brief symptoms but should feel fine after warming up.
