Maybe not, however: Drinking cold beverages can cause a bronchial constriction that ion turn can make you  cough. Try drinking the same beverage at a warmer temperature and see if the same thing happens.

Question 2

is drinking cold beverage bad when you have cough especially dry cough thats caused by nasal dripping? does the temperature of water matter at all?

Accepted Answer

Not really.: Cold can help especially with cough and hoarseness.  Warm may help if you have a sore throat.  All non-caffeinated non-caloric liquid helps to make mucus loose and easier to cough up or blow.  Sniffing makes you cough.  "Blow don't sniff!"

Wish you good health!

Question 4

why people get chills after drinking cold beverages?

Accepted Answer

Body needs balance: If you feel cold or have chills after drinking a cold beverage, then your body is responding to this environmental change and making you 'feel' something so that the balance can be restored. For example, if you feel too cold, you will stop drinking that cold beverage - or take other steps to balance that out. Such as put on a light jacket. Europeans don't generally put ice in their drinks, BTW.

Question 5

is it bad to drink hot beverages and then drink cold beverages after ?

Accepted Answer

Hot and cold: No, it's not bad to drink hot and then cold beverages. Given your body temperature, and the indifference your stomach has to these temperatures, there is no risk to doing this. But avoid scalding hot beverages as they can cause burns of the tongue and esophagus.

Question 7

sometimes when drinking cold, and sometimes but less frequently hot, beverages i get pain in the back i my neck that lasts a few minutes. why?

Accepted Answer

Irritation: It may be irritation of your posterior esophagus, such as an area of "esophagitis" that gets adversely stimulated and irritated with hot or cold substances.  This discomfort since in the back of your esophagus can be felt to be in the back of your neck.  Just a thought, so best to get it evaluated to be sure if it persists.  Best wishes.

Question 8

what causes an uncomfortable cold minty sensation in the chest especially after drinking carbonated or caffeinated beverages?

Accepted Answer

: Multiple things may cause this type of sensation, but you are likely feeling some mild acid reflux.  Carbonated beverages and caffeine are known to cause more stomach acid to rise up into the esophagus.  Other considerations are lingering effects from the temperature of your drink, the sensation of the carbonation or an elevated heart rate (I would expect you to feel the latter).

Question 9

after drinking cold beverage such as water, my heart rate immediately slows down a few beats (3-4) and beats hard then back to normal rhythm. what could this be? its very frightening.

Accepted Answer

Vagus nerve: The vagus nerve, when stimulated,causes temporary slowing if the heart rate. Apparently drinking ice cold liquids causes this reaction in your case. My suggestion is to drink cold beverages very slowly. You could wear an outpatient heart monitor which would document such a reaction.

Question 10

i have been coughing a lot lately and it seems to be happening after i eat or drink water or any other beverage. any advice on what could i be dealing with. apart from coughing there are no other symptoms ?

Accepted Answer

Coughing: Coughing can be due to a wide variety of causes. It can be acid reflux, asthma, reactive airways. Coughing more after drinking water or beverage can also be a sign of improper swallowing reflexes. Please see a physician for more extensive history and to get examined and get these things tested as well as some blood work.
