Can you tell me if it's okay to have golgappa when I've got a sore throat and a cold? I'm worried it might make my throat feel worse. Is it safe, or should I avoid it?
It's best to avoid golgappa during a cold or throat pain. The spicy and cold ingredients can irritate the throat, potentially worsening discomfort or inflammation. It's advisable to stick to soothing, warm foods for better relief.
