Cough, Phlegm after drinking cold drinks…?
03.October, 2009
I know this is going to sound disgusting, but every time I drink cold drinks after a meal… I get a cough with phlegm like if I was dying of a very bad cold, when I am not. After a few minutes the cough and phlegm are gone… I have had this since I was a teenager (I’m now 30) and I have always wonder why this happens to me. I have never consulted a doctor.
What could be wrong with my throat?
This happens to me, and it’s because I have asthma. I’ve had asthma ever since I was 11, when I got a very bad bacterial infection in my lungs that almost killed me. I was hospitalized for two weeks, and have had asthma ever since. Certain drinks (milk) and certain foods (especially like ice cream–cold with milk, lol) can trigger it and I’ll get a coughing spell with phlegm. Also physical exertion can set it off. Many other things can trigger it. I am not sure if you have asthma but maybe you should look it up. Ask the doc.
