Can I consume cold foods with tonsillitis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If you are having a susceptibility for throat infections you need to understand why it is happening. Having cold drinks or fluids bring down the body's immunity by shade and that is why it can attract a viral or bacterial infection. It is not about whether the bacteria can survive in cold or not, but it is about whether your body's immune system is able to fight the infection to neutralize it before it spreads. Viral particles and bacteria are all there in the air that we breathe and usually the body fights back to protect from getting invaded by these organisms. Everyone has one particular level of immunity, some have a weak immune system while some have very strong immunity and can still bear eating junk food and drinking cold drinks all day and still not get an infection. It all depends from person to person. If your body is sensitive to cold things or anything for that matter, it is better to avoid such items to prevent you from acquiring an infection and taking unnecessary antibiotics and medications. I hope this helps.
