Can you drink red wine with a cough?

Cough patients are generally not allowed to drink red wine. Not only is red wine not allowed, but other types of alcohol are also recommended. Cough is one of the most common clinical symptoms, mostly seen in respiratory diseases, such as pneumonia, bronchiectasis, bronchopulmonary cancer, tuberculosis, etc., can lead to cough symptoms. And red wine is a beverage with stronger stimulating properties, especially for the throat, so coughing patients drinking red wine may stimulate the throat to produce cough symptoms and lead to increased cough symptoms. Some cough patients are caused by bacterial infections and often need to take antibiotics, such as cephalosporin antibiotics, which are often prone to disulfiram-like reactions with the alcohol in red wine, leading to danger, so patients with coughs better not drink alcohol, including red wine.
