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?

Caffeine can decrease your saliva production and lead to a dry mouth. If you add any dairy products to your coffee, that can increase your sinus congestion.
I wouldn’t worry much about it. Just make sure you are also drinking plenty of water. Getting dehydrated will adversely affect your recovery time.
How does adding dairy to coffee increase sinus congestion?
It’s a fairly common mild allergy. I guess I shouldn’t have stated that like it is expected for everyone.
