Can drinking cold water reduce acid reflux?
No it doesn't. Acid reflux occurs due to the failure of physiological valve that is present at the junction of oesophagus and stomach. Cold water has nothing to do with it. Intake of large amount of cold water (after the reflux has already happened) may soothe the nerve ending of lower oesophagus, thus reducing (not relieving) the burning sensation, but it cannot stop acid reflux to occur.
