Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to tonsil infection. The hot beverages can trigger the symptoms. I suggest to avoid them while having tonsillitis. Instead, cold beverages are recommended because can lower the inflammation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
