Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Drinking of cold water or ice water may not cause any allergies, but if there is infection of the throat, or cold, these may effect the infection to increase.
In absence of infection or allergy, one may not get any infection.
Some people may be allergic to cool water ,fruits or juices, they may get the cold, or cough if they take those things.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
