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?

I'm not sure about any of the direct impact of drinking coffee, but generally, any warm liquid has a soothing effect, so for me drinking coffee when having a sore throat works. At least I haven't noticed anything directly negative.

Emphasis on warm. If you got a 3000 degree McDonald’s coffee that would probably do more harm than good.

Slightly over body temperature? Perfect.
