Do you know that Ice cream helps when your throat hurts you? I don't know how to say it but I found that Ice cream helps when you have pain in your throat and it is definitely not worse than a soda? So my doctor said, eat an ice cream when you have throat pains

Hi, LeoWyatt. I think that the chillness in the ice cream lessens the sore pain in the throat. Ice cream keeps the pain from being so painful. I don't know if I could eat anything cold when I have an sore throat.

this is just based on my experience.whether i have cold or sore throat, i would rather eat an ice cream than cold water.it didn't give an effect to me myself so whenever i feel i wanna eat ice cream i just buy and eat it.so in this case i agree with you.

Yes, I have done this a few times, and it does help. It's great that something so yummy can also have benefits!

It's kinda hit or miss for me! Sometimes, helps my throat heal faster. The other times, ice cream makes it kinda worse. :(

I bet it has something to do with ice cream being cold so it soothes the throat.

I think perhaps the cold numbs your throat making it harder to feel the pain. I love ice cream and reason to eat some is a great reason!

Hi LeoWyatt! :) When I was in elementary school, I often suffered of sore throat, and my mum always gave me an ice cream to help me feel better. Apparently, the "grandma's remedies" are always the best, aren't they? I eat ice creams also when I have a high temperature, it helps me to cool down, especially if you sleep in blue or green (cold colors anyway) sheets.
