Hi Guys... I Still eat ice creams and chocolates and i have cold and runny nose and in the night i cough a bit more... I drink Fresh juice with ice.. Do u eat like this? Consuming ice things with Cold and Cough in the body? Is this a good sign? Does this lead to severity? Does this lead to any major problem with the health? I don't know whats happening? I'm much concerned about the health issues though i'm younger, because of the awareness throughout the media and the incoming messages and mails..

Well.. It will sound crazy but ya... I do eat ice creams, chocolates and even cold cofee inspite of suffering from cold, runny nose...!! according to me, if you go on doing it, your health will improve fast as compared to taking pills...hehe I know it is kind of a bad joke, but that is what I observed when I was caught by cold last time...!!

It's funny !!!! Eating more will reduce the effect? Is this medically proven?

Yeah, I do this thing, but only when I am in the mood to do so. :D Sometimes, even if my mouth wanted some ice cream, my brain wouldn't just give me the drive to eat...XD

As i don't eat ice-cream or chocolates, sweetie i cannot see why you can't have it when sick. It shouldn't be a problem, though. Juice is fine, that normally helps a lot when having flu. But i don't think you can really taste it when sick, though. TATA.

Yes, I do too. I drink cold drinks like lemonade or orange juice or ice tea coz it gives me relief and i feel refreshed. As per doctors' advise, it is best to drink a lot of fluids because colds cough, runny nose cause a bit of dehydration, and drinking causes you to urinate frequently, thereby washing away the virus. Cold and cough are caused by viruses which are airborne, thus, it doesn't have anything to do whether you drink hot or cold.

Eating ice cream and chocolates if you have a cold, cough and runny nose does not lead to severity. Although too much of these could make you have tonsilitis and therefore become pretty annoying. I love drinking cold water, even when I have runny nose. But from what I have noticed, when I drink lukewarm water even without any medicine intake, the phlegm and mucus sort of lessens. It wouldn't become too sticky, too. Water is a universal solvent, so that probably explains it all.

When I am sick, I can't just eat anything. I have to eat what agrees with my body during illness and if it is a cold, I generally tend to eat warmer foods. I cannot eat icecream and chocolate when I'm feeling under the weather.

Cold foods or drinks can actually make you feel worse, since that take longer to digest and can accumulate in your body a lot easier. The reason people drink hot drinks such as tea, is because the heat can help break up foods and prevent them from being stored in the body for more than a day. Oranges and anything with citrus should soothe your cough and loosen up phlegm. I hope you get better. Have a good day

When I get caught of colds,cough and runny nose already, its a sign and symptoms the signals your body to know what things to do to get well or maybe there is an underlying infection you might have or maybe your body is adopting to a new environment. And so in my thing, I do avoid all those icy things, its really tempting to think about it, but i have to put it in my mind that these things will make my condition worst.I'm glad you're concerned about your health, i would suggest you prefer rich in vitamin C juices, and drink water that is in neutral temperature, not too hot and not too cold.Water therapy would my best advise.

Water therapy !!! This would be a nice thing, but i prefer drinking hot water in winters and now it's the pre- winter season in my place.

Hi. gunagohan. No. I don't eat ice cream if I have a cold or if I am coughing. It is best to drink warm liquids or room temperature foods. You will get much sicker when you drink and eat more colder foods. It could make you more sicker and you could have a cold much longer and much worse.

Hi Guna, For me, I do take take cold drinks when I am cough. Unless it is very serious cough or I cough badly, then I will watch out what I eat. But for toddlers and babies and kids, It is better to restrict them what to eat when they are sick. Kids tend to have weaker body immune than adults, so it is advise to watch out what they eat, not only when they sick but also on all times.

Hi, I won't never eat ice cream and chocolate when I am sick. It is best to avoid eating these two things when fall sick, the most important is to drink plenty of water and have enough rest for speedy recovery.

Hi! Yes I still eat ice cream and chocolates even if a have colds, cough and runny nose. They are my happy food and they uplift my spirit whenever I feel bad as well as when I'm not feeling well. However, I would refrain from eating sweet when I have sore throat or tonsillitis as this will only worsen my sickness. Thus, it will only delay my recovery instead of hastening it up. :D. Though I still eat ice cream and chocolate even when I'm having colds, cough and runny nose I also make sure that I'm eating them moderately because obviously anything in excess is not healthy. And of course, if I have cough and my throat are already sore or swollen then, I no longer eat sweets and super cold food. It is only a matter of maintaining balance and discipline when eating. Knowing one's self and one's limitation is still the best in deciding what to eat and what "not to eat." Have a good day and happy myLotting gunogahan :D
