Dry Air In Room = Sore Throat?

At my moms house, which I live at regularly, I have a window AC, and vents between 1st and second floor. I never get a sore throat or wake up all dry. When I go to my dads, I have a much smaller room, with no vents. I open the door half way to get air from the hall in, and I put a fan in front of the open window and have it blow air into my room. But, even with this, every time I come to his house I wake up with a sore throat and feel like im sick for the whole week.

Its funny because at my moms im allergic to our 4 dogs and dust, but this room is perfectly clean with no animal dandruff or anything to be bothering me :S

Please help, I HATE coming here and feeling like crap.

Update:

Oh, and I'd rather if you guys knew a good solution without meds, over-counter OR perscription, i'm only here 2 days every 14.

Update 2:

not to mention, isn't penicillin for infections? My moms a doctor, and I don't see how that would help dry air and a throat...

    Either get a room air cleaner, or have the fan suck air OUT of the room, not blow at you. There's something in the room bothering you.
