Drinking cola-ginger water has no therapeutic effect on colds. Colds need to be treated with different medications depending on the type of cold, and rest should be taken care of at the same time. Colds are acute upper respiratory tract infections caused by viral infections. The common cold is self-limiting and does not require medication if the symptoms are mild, or symptomatic treatment if the symptoms are severe. Influenza is usually more severe and requires early treatment with antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir in addition to symptomatic treatment. Patients with dry throat and postnasal drip can take medication to relieve nasal mucosal congestion such as pseudoephedrine or topical nasal drip; if there is a fever with a temperature greater than 38.5 ℃, acetaminophen and other antipyretic and analgesic medications can be used to reduce the fever; patients with cough and phlegm can take coughing and expectorant medications such as aminoglutethimide and bromhexine. Cola and ginger ale is made of cola and ginger, which are both food and do not have the effect of treating colds. Secondly, cola contains high sugar content, ginger is stimulating, too much may stimulate the throat, aggravate cough symptoms, so it is not recommended to eat too much. If the cold symptoms are serious, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as not to delay the condition.
