How about water? Tap water woukd help. Try warming it up in the microwave. Warm water does amazing things.
Is it okay to drink sparkling water when you have a sore.throat?
Yes, those tingling carbonated water does soothe a sore throat. If I have a worst case of sore throat, guess what, its the only time I drink coke/pepsi chilled and without any more ice cubes. But its best to drink unflavored sparkling water because sometimes sugar tends to irritate the throat and make you cough more *
Can you drink soda when you have a sore throat?
You can. But it really really hurts. Also, don't drink any dairy. That also makes it hurt. Try to drink warm drinks that don't have carbonation. I have a sore throat last week and I swallowed some lemon juice and my sore throat was gone the very next day. :) You should definitely try that. It burns at first but only for a second. Then after it stops burning, it feels much better. Do this about once every two hours and it will be gone the next day. Hopefully that helps!
Why does drinking water while sick hurt my throat, but drinking Gatorade doesn't?
This is pure speculation. Take this with many grains of salt.Gatorade is basically slightly salty and sugary water. Water tends to move to areas of higher salt concentration, until things are equal. This includes through a membrane that water can get through, like cell walls.Your sore throat is likely sore because it is inflamed. That means it is filled with too much water and other fluids.Regular water does nothing, just rubs your throat slightly. Gatorade might pull some of that extra water out, and alleviate pain. This is also why gargling salt water is a home treatment for a sore throat.
Throat pain while drinking soda?
When I drink certain sodas (or depending on where you live... pops lol) my throat will hurt a little bit due to the high carbonation and such. Now I was wondering, could this be acid reflux and if it is should I see a doctor about it? Also, I haven't drank as much soda as of late, so could it also maybe be that my throat just isn't as used to it?
What COLD drink can I have for sore throat?
Garling with salt water can keep it from getting 'so bad' that you would need too. Its not like you are drinking it, it takes about 2 minutes to gargle with warm salt water. Soda is never good for you. Cold ice chips may feel good.
Why do some people surely catch a cold/sore throat after drinking or eating anything cold, wheareas many other people seem to be fine drinking cold drinks?
First off, the people you described as prone to catching colds from drinking or eating anything cold---I'm one of those people. As was my mother. As was my grandfather. Any time my mother would drink a cold cup of juice or water straight from the fridge, you could bet she would lose her voice and get a fever two days later. I've seldom even dared to drink something straight from the fridge, because eating mildly cold ice cream is enough to make me sick. I grew up thinking this is normal, as my mother always lectured me, and my grandfather lectured her "not to drink anything straight from the fridge" and "to eat ice cream slowly." And when I was rebellious and couldn't bear the wait--lo and behold, I would get sick in about 1-4 days. Then I would see kids down pints of cold soda and eat ice cream straight from the freezer and would watch them in amazement that they would dare to risk horrible fevers and soar throat. I was amazed that when I explained my "condition" to them, none of them could relate.I refuse to believe this is only immunity, as it is something that has been inherited and seems to not happen to anyone else. It's not a confusion between "[casualty] and coincidence" either as Mr."best answer" courteously deprecated. Coincidence doesn't dictate that every time I go for a cold glass straight from the fridge that I'm going to wake up with a soar throat, a runny nose, a fever, or some delightful combination of the three a few days later.Does anyone have an actual name for this condition or a legitimate medical reason, and not a pretentious answer that's accusing us of not "thinking for ourselves?"
