Does drinking coffee have any effects on a sore throat?
Am currently sick with a bad throat. While enjoying my cup of coffee, I had the thought; "Should I avoid coffee if I have a bad throat?". So, are there any studies or general consensus on this?
The words you said arenât wrong, but in this context it seems like youâre suggesting that the honey in tea might have a similar effect when consumed. Thatâs not at all supported by this study. Much of honeyâs antimicrobial effects are (1) due to its high sugar concentration, and (2) in reference to topical applications. Those conditions donât exist here.
