Whether a patient with a cold can drink cola ginger tea or not cannot be generalized. If you have a cold, you can drink cola ginger tea, but if you have a hot cold, cola ginger tea is generally not recommended. Ginger is warm in nature and has the effect of dispersing wind, dispersing cold and relieving cough, so you can drink cola ginger tea for wind-cold colds. Cola itself has no therapeutic effect on cold, and cola is sweet, so if you have a cough, drinking too sweet drinks at this time will also produce phlegm and cause the cough to linger. Therefore, even if you have a cold, it is recommended that you drink ginger tea directly instead of adding cola. If the cold is hot, cola and ginger tea is not recommended. If you have a wind-heat cold, you can drink water with medicines that have the effect of dispersing wind-heat, such as double flower, forsythia, peppermint, rutabaga, etc., which have the effect of dispersing wind-heat, clearing heat and detoxifying toxins, and you can take one or several of them to drink water and drink as a substitute for tea for treatment.
