A member asked:

Why is sprite/7up good to drink while sick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ankush Bansal answered

Carbonation: It's not those specific drinks but any carbonated drink that helps when you have a stomach bug or upset. The carbonation reduces the feeling of nausea and keeps you feeling full.
