Can you drink cola when you have a cold?

You should never drink cola during a cold. Cola also has a certain amount of caffeine, which has a stimulating effect on people and is not conducive to rest and can easily lead to sleeplessness. You should rest more during the cold to promote recovery from the cold. The sugar content of Coke is particularly high, and foods containing particularly high sugar content and excessively sweet foods can easily stimulate the throat and cause throat discomfort, and even induce coughing and phlegm.
