Have you ever experienced feeling better after drinking coke..when having flu? I definitely have..hahah..also headaches. Besides just being around as a normal beverage, this drink can actually change moods and create enthusiasm in life. Feel free to drop in your experience with coke..even if someone mistakenly spilt it on you..:D Princess

Coke, when it was first sold, was in fact sold as a "patent medicine".

I usually drink Sprite when I am sick. I don't drink alot of dark liquids. I try to stay with the clear ones.

Ic ic..I guess it depends on the carbonated drink that you fancy then..it could make you feel when you're down. But I have always heard that soda helps. :) Princess

Could it be the sugar or maybe the caffeine. Some people get headaches when they cut down on their caffeine when they are addicted. It can be quite a powerful stimulant. However I think it might be the sugar that you get from the drink. When you are sick I think you need more energy and the coke provides instant sugar energy. I frequently crave fruit when I am sick. I do not normally eat a lot of fruit, not that I dislike it, but I do not have the same cravings as when I am sick. I wonder if it is the sugar or the vitamins that my body craves.

I do not normally drink carbonated beverages at all. black coffee , green white or black tea , water , cranberry or currant juice however. I am a migraine headache suffer . And in my cupboard you will always find a couple 20 oz bottles of regular coke classic. because no matter what type of medicine i have been given the coke is the only thing that can help me with the pain , must be the sugar jolt... or whatever ... but yes i love the effect when needed

I love Diet Coke and I drink it all the time. It does raise my spirits and keeps me awake and alert. If you have a belly ache or upset drink flat coke and it will help. Also if you can find coca cola syrup it will help to.
