A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 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!"
