Can drinking cold things aggravate asthma?
i have my asthma since 3years old until it reach 18 years old, we transfer residence because of my suitution but even though still ...after 18 years thanks God it became better except when climate is changing but not like before.... you have to counsult a doctor and dont rely on inhaler from time to time ....
better to consult your doctor because not all astham patients has the same suituation.
The best way to know if it is asthma or not is to buy a peak flow meter and test before and after drinking something cold. If your peak flow drops, then yes your asthma is triggered by cold drinks, however I have never heard of that happening.
Cold drinks can induce vocal chord dysfunction which has similar symptoms to asthma and can be a problem in people with or without asthma. Lung function tests can normally distinguish between the two if taken at times where there are symptoms.
