The Medical Association for Upper Austria draws attention to this. When doing outdoor activities, you should ensure that the cold air does not come directly into your mouth. “If you draw in the air through your nose, preheated and humidified air flows further into the throat. This is good for the mucous membrane there,” says Georg Langmayr, representative of the specialist group for ear, nose and throat medicine. However, if you breathe through your mouth, the mucous membranes tend to dry out and are then an “ideal breeding ground for infections – such as inflammation of the throat, angina or laryngitis.”
You can also moisten the mucous membranes through inhalation, preferably with an ultrasonic nebulizer. In addition to moisture, table salt would also reach the mucous membranes – unlike leaning over a pot of hot water.
