Does drinking coffee have any effects on a sore throat? (slrpnk.net)

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?

If I'm sick and working I double down for the caffeine push. If I'm not working I switch to tea with honey since I can't really taste my coffee as well anyway when ill.

Short answer is no though, you are not going to make yourself worse. Always a good idea to drink some water before coffee and probably an even better idea if throat is bothering you.
