Caffeine + Colds....?


One of our professors told us that caffeine is bad for you when you are sick...is it really that bad? My roomie and I both have the same horrible cold but we're caffeine junkies and would never make it through the day if we didn't have multiple coffees/coke/etc.

I think as long as you don't truly overdo it, caffeine during a cold shouldn't be a problem. I drink a lot of tea when I have a cold and it seems to make me feel better.

Caffine dehydrates you. It is a diuretic so it makes you pee a lot. When you are ill, you need fluids to get better. So, thats the only reason I can think of that it would be bad.
