Green Tea and Cough

by Maralyn Schoch
(Sussex England)

About three years ago I began drinking green tea. Around the same time I developed a sinus condition and an incurable cough.

It is only now, after all kinds of useless treatment I am wondering if I am allergic to green tea and that this is the cause of the the cough.

Please let me know if you have any other people in the same difficulty.

Answer:
Maralyn, green tea allergies is the single biggest complaint I hear on the site.

The article below is linked to what you have suspected.

I hope this helps.

 super HOT tea = allergic throat...
by: adamya

Your allergy is not due to green tea but due to very hot tea which your are consuming. Just allow the tea to cool down a bit(may be 4 mins).

And throw away your old belief that green tea has caused your allergy, then your allergy will disappear like a drop of water in an ocean.

"Always inquire as deep as you can."

In Iran half of the people's throat are damaged due to this. Spread the message.

To threadstarter: No, you are not allergy to Green tea.

The reason why you keep coughing is because you were drinking green tea far too often and Green tea is consider as "Cooling" in Chinese medicine, and foods, fruits and drinks that are too "cooling" can make one cough - especially those who take it on a daily basis.

And by saying "cooling", it doesn't mean that the foods, fruits and drinks are cold.

Anyway, try drinking English breakfast everyday and I can assure you that you will experience coughing as well.
