Is hot water not goos for health?
Hi. Since the COVID which emerged in 2020 my mom made us normalise hot water on regular basis and from past 3 years I've been drinking hot water and not even luke warm water and the issue is ever since that I am easily vulnerable in having throat issues and throat irritation, also I can drink cold beverages at time and have no issues but very frequently I catch cold and have cough even if I have a milkshake at night. When I drank lukewarm or cold water prior to I was 25 I barely got sick maybe once or twice a year but now even in summer I get sick. Can normalising drinking warm water or cold water fix the issue? It's very annoying to take care and still get sick

You need to stop taking hot water or even lukewarm water for that matter, start having water at normal temperatures, things will improve in a few weeks.
As for the cold beverages avoid icy cold sugar beverages, they trigger gastric acidity in some cases too.
