Can I drink Coke if I have a sore throat?

Sore throat is a problem that many of us encounter on a daily basis. Of course, normal sore throat will not affect the patient's normal life, but if the sore throat is severe, it will inevitably affect the patient's normal life. There are many ways that a person can have a sore throat, usually caused by a cold. So can you drink Coke when you have a sore throat? This is a problem that many people will encounter when they have a sore throat.

Most people often don’t know the answers to the above questions. Some people may think that if they want to know the answer to this question, they can just drink Coke when their throat hurts. Many people have thought about this, but because they are not sure about the dangers, most people dare not drink Coke when their throat hurts. In response to this phenomenon, let’s talk about this issue in detail below.

Coca-cola will not cure any disease, but drinking too much of it can cause illness, including osteoporosis. Drinking Coke when you have a sore throat may have a temporary numbing effect, but it may cause the condition to worsen afterwards, so you should not drink Coke when you have a sore throat.

Coke is a dark brown, sweet, caffeinated carbonated beverage that contains caffeine but does not contain alcohol and is very popular. The main flavors of cola include vanilla, cinnamon, lemon, etc. The name comes from one of the early ingredients of cola: cola nut extract. The most well-known cola brands are Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

Drinking cola is unhealthy. Drinking too much is bad for teeth and makes them soft. In addition, caffeine is irritating to children and can stimulate gastric motility and gastric acid secretion, causing intestinal cramps. Children who drink coffee frequently are prone to unexplained abdominal pain, and long-term excessive intake of caffeine can lead to chronic gastritis. Caffeine can dilate the capillaries on the gastrointestinal wall, stimulate kidney function, increase renal water flow, cause polyuria in children, and increase calcium excretion, which will also affect children's bone development. At the same time, caffeine will destroy vitamin B1 in children's bodies and cause vitamin B1 deficiency.

Therefore, it is better for everyone to drink less Coke.

In 2002, a European doctor named Ladas published an article in an authoritative medical journal, first reporting the successful use of Coca-Cola via nasogastric tube lavage to treat five cases of vegetative gastric stones. It is understood that researchers have also found that gastric stone fragments removed by gastroscopy can dissolve quickly after being put into Coca-Cola. Drinking too much cola is not only harmful to the stomach and intestines, but also affects digestion. Because a large amount of carbon dioxide can inhibit the beneficial bacteria in the human body, it can easily cause abdominal bloating, affect appetite, and even cause gastrointestinal dysfunction. The caffeine in cola can increase the excretion of calcium, which is not conducive to the development of children's bones and will inevitably affect their normal growth and development. Teenagers who often drink cola and rarely drink milk are prone to malnutrition. Studies have shown that children who drink cola drinks only consume 60% of the recommended daily calcium, which will affect bone development. The caffeine in cola can excite children's central nervous system, increase heart rate, make them irritable, dizzy, increase breathing, and reduce sleep quality.

From the above, we can see that you should not drink Coke when you have a sore throat. In fact, at other times, it is better for people to drink less Coke, because Coke itself is a carbonated beverage, so drinking too much will cause damage to the stomach. In addition, the calories in cola are relatively high, so people who drink cola frequently tend to be fatter, which indirectly leads to damage to their health.
