Hi,

Feeling cold in throat without eating any mints or chewing gums can be due to the following reasons:
- Hypersensitivity of the throat mucosa to incoming air
- Cold air outside in your room or atmosphere
- Inflammation of the throat and respiratory system

I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- Wait and watch
- Get throat examined by a doctor and get prescription based medicines if advised so
- Avoid cold air or sudden temperature zone changes
- Stop worrying if there are no other symptoms

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
