Can you eat anything cold when you are sick with a cold?

Nothing can stop me from eating. I'm like a wolverine.

To be honest it doesnt really matter to me. I just eat what I am craving, but if I have a cold then I do crave some hot theraflu it just works so well.

Usually if I have a cold I am cold....or chilly and very much enjoy something hot! Even spicy too! Seems like something hot and spicy loosens it up a bit..and get the body heat going too!

Hi cream dear! Just like you my friend, I prefer eating or drinking something that is hot. It makes me feel good somehow. I really don't like eating or drinking anything that is cold when I have colds. It seems it makes me feel worse and that my nose gets more clogged. Take care and blessings to you! lovelots..faith

Normally I would eat something hot like chicken soup. I guess I could see if it were summer that I might eat some ice cream. The idea of that doesn't really appeal to me though.

Yeah I think most people feel cold when they have cold so they want something warm , but I don't think eating cold things would make your cold worse , but it wouldn't be a natural response

I can not eat anything cold during the winter. Not only when I am sick, but also during cold days. Also I can not eat fruits from refrigerator, all of my fruits need to be at room temperature.

i dont think it matters whether you drink hot or cold stuff but as long as you drink lots. i like to drink hot stuff like tea and soup when i have a cold because it makes me feel better, but thats just me.

me too i lately drink a lot of hot beverages like hot chocolate and green tea. i don't drink coffee though cause i dislike the taste of it. anyways, some coffee taste great too but still i didn't get the habit of drinking it a lot. every morning i crave for hot chocolate drink which i take together with my breakfast. and breakfast is not complete without it. i really sip it slowly and wanting to taste it every sip of it and let it go down slowly into my throat. cause i want the taste to stay a little longer.

Well typically I eat mostly hot things like soup or hot drinks, but sometimes when I have a cold I might eat just a little bit of ice cream, I just love ice cream, and it dosent matter much if I have a cold or not, ice cream is my fav, and I will eat it rain sleet or snow haha.

Ihave heard this as well eating cold,I think it has something to do with keeping your temperature down.Me I snuggle up in the warm with anything that makes me feel better,soup,tea,hot dinners ect,The last thing I would have is something cold.

No. I am sick now..fever, chills, sore throat, sleepy, everything hurts, etc. The only thing I have had in 2 days is a bowl of Ramon noodles and 2 cups of coffee. Anything cold will make my throat hurt even worse. Especially, when you have a cough, you want something to soothe your throat, not make it more scratchy or hurt. I just can't eat very much when I am sick.

i cant eat anything that is cold, when i am myself suffering from cold. because then it pierces in my nose like a needle and tears flow out of my eyes. i prefer some hot and spicy soup that my nose flow out. i drink mostly coffee, soup, or tea anything that is hot warm and i can enjoy myself that time.. i cant tolerate cold at that time, but yes i need a fan working for me when i sleep because then i cant breath

hey ,how are u.not always depends on the type of flu you r suffering with .

no way.it makes me feel worse. about the only time i'll eat something cold is if i have a sore throat to go with it. warm soup or a warm drink at least clears my nose for a little bit.

Yes, i can eat something cold when i have my influenza or even my tonsilitis. Ok... go! buy them all...! and kill yourself! That;s my doctor said to me... ahaha its quiet a harsh joke, but its true. Me, personally, i really love to eat ice cream especially choco sundae with brownies.. Hmm... i do like strawberry vanilla sundae with marshmallow... woah... I dont know, i will loose my mind about tonsilitis everytime i pass by the gelato ice cream in the mall that i always visit. You know gelato? the italian ice cream? The taste is different than the regular ice cream and it seems that i already addicted to it. I wish that someday i can have my own ice cream and coffee shop. The ice cream will be the italian ice cream gelato, so i can enjoy my own ice cream for free... hm... I cant never reject ice cream, its my temptation. heheh... Some people eating ice cream and drink hot green tea at the same time, do you think its normal? For me its taste good even people say its weird. I did try and i dont think if its abnormal or weird, its just simply unusual thing... people eating hot and cool food at the same time. Hmmm... I do like to eat ramen and having sorbet with me... ahaha... its taste great, hot and spicy salty with sweet sour cool... do you wanna try?

When I have a cold, something hot would be very nice. Hot soup would be my best choice. But this does not mean I do not eat cold foods when I have a cold. I do not see any effect when I eat something cold when I have some colds, but I usually feel a good effect when I drink or eat something hot when I'm having some colds.

I love hot food and cold drink.ha ha... I can aways take care of myself very well and less to get a cold. good luck to you!

When I get a cold , I often drink hot water to make myself feel warmer. It seems that it take effects to cure the cold. I do not dare to eat cold when I get a cold.

I am hard headed. Even if i have cold, i tell my husband i want to eat ice cream I know it would not help my situation but will make it even worst. Last two months ago i had a very bad cold and my voice was almost gone and i am coughing too. I did take some medicines like Guaifenesin and drink some ginger brew to cope up with that cold. At first it did not work well, but after three days taking fruit juices and water and some soup, i got well. I was not doing household chores the way i do.My hubby does the cleaning for me. No washing of clothes and ironing too. It was a good day for me to rest so i sleep most of the time.
