Drinking water after meals

Q: When is it Sunnah to drink water; immediately after food or half an hour or so after meals?

A: Both are permissible. We have not come across any Hadith that instructs one to drink water after a specific time after taking one's meals. However this relates to medicine. Hence one should refer to a doctor or hakeem regarding this issues.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
