It is usually normal to feel cold after eating or drinking hot water. When you eat, more blood goes to your stomach for digestion, so the rest of your body may feel cooler for a while. Hot drinks can also make you sweat a little, and that cooling makes you feel cold. If it happens often with weakness or dizziness, get it checked.

Possible Explanations:a. Body's Thermoregulation Response: Consuming hot food or drinks can trigger cooling mechanisms like sweating, which may make you feel cold as sweat evaporates.b. Blood Flow Changes: Hot intake can cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to a sensation of chilliness due to blood flow redistribution.c. Individual Sensitivity: Unique responses to temperature changes in the mouth or digestive system can cause cold sensations.
Considerations:
- If frequent or severe, or if accompanied by symptoms like dizziness or fatigue, consult a healthcare professional.
- Generally, this sensation is harmless and related to natural body responses.

I have a fever and earache due to a cough and cold. What antibiotic or medication should I take?

Since your symptoms started with a cold, they are likely caused by a virus. Antibiotics only treat bacterial infections and will not work against viruses. For immediate relief from the fever and earache, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Resting and staying hydrated will also help your recovery. Please consult a doctor to examine your ear; they can determine if a secondary bacterial infection has developed, which might require a prescription antibiotic like amoxicillin. Seek medical care promptly if you experience severe pain, dizziness, or a worsening fever.

I have a cold and cough and am also feeding my newborn baby.

You can safely breastfeed even if you have a cold and a cough. The infection does not pass through breast milk. Instead, your milk gives your baby protective antibodies. Rest, drink plenty of warm fluids, do steam inhalation, and use a saline nasal spray. If your condition persists, consult a doctor.
