Strange that Guava gives Sour throat and Cold

I have a nice Guava tree in my house, and I recently also wrote an article on the same. This season, there have been a lot of fruits on the guava tree. When the fruits ripen, there is a squirrel family nearby that starts consuming them. The only problem with Squirrels is that they don't take the whole fruit. Instead, they spoil the fruit by eating only a little portion of it. That's the only problem with them. But this season there have been a lot of fruits, and we have left a lot of fruits for the Squirrels to destroy.

I like eating guava fruit not when they are yellow in color but when they are parrot green, which is half-ripe. I like them that way. The fully ripened fruit is tasty and makes people like it that way, but I like the half-ripened part of the fruit. I consumed about 3 half-ripe fruits yesterday, and I slowly started getting a sore throat, and today I got a severe cold. I have seen this happen several times to me, but in spite of that, I still eat it half-ripe. I don't know, but I like the taste this way.

I tried googling to find out why it happens to be like this, but they don't have a proper explanation. They say it is very cold fruit in Ayurveda, especially when consumed half-ripe, but Western medicine does not agree to that. My parents used to tell me that if we consume it with Salt, it won't do much to the throat. But despite that, it was very tough on me. I have been struggling with a heavy cold today because of this.

It will take a couple more days to settle down. They say that half-ripe fruits are acidic in nature, and that's why they are very tough on our throat. Tomorrow I'm going to visit my doctor and ask him for an explanation and ask what the proper way is to consume them. The reason is that I sit right in front of the tree at my work desk, and it is so tempting.
