Having icecream with a cold?

Hello oindy54, I once saw these chocolate fudge brownies in a pack while I was getting some on the outer pain reliever medicine and I just couldn't resist but to buy them they were making my mouth watery. I had ice cream and butterscotch topping before when I had a sore throat. It felt so soothing down my throat and relived the pain there for a few hours.

Simple, I would never think about having an ice cream while I have a cold. I would drink tea, soup, get some rest, exercise, and eat something healthier. There's always proper time and fun time for ice cream.

Good day Oindy54, I was also trapped in this kind of situation. That, I was craving for ice cream even though I know that I have a cough plus colds. Still I bought a half gallon of ice cream and ate it all by myself. I was not able to resist on the temptation of eating an ice cream during that time. And since I have a cough and colds during those times, I am expecting that my throat will gonna suffer due to my stubborness. But to my surprise, it was the opposite thing that happened. My cough and cold was removed. For this reason, everytime I will be having a cough and colds, I am always buying an ice cream to treat it. It sounds like an awkward thing since ice cream is kind a cold and yet when I ate it, my cough and cold was healed. But that situation was really happened to me and I was also surprised.

hi:) when I'm sick I also want to eat ice cream or any cold foods, especially if I have soar throat, because I think it can numb the pain, but my grandma said that eating ice cream while you have colds and cough is not good because Dairy products tend to increase the presence of mucus.If you have a cold or cough, this is not the best thing to have happen. So it's better to drink a lot of water when you have colds. wish you well!

It happened to me once when I was in school . I had a bad bout of cough and cold and still couldn't restrain from taking 3 chocobars with friends . I kept it a secret from my parents but luckily nothing happened . At present I am also having a cold and sore throat your post provokes me to try some icecream.....lols ;-) hey what clothes did you buy for Durgapuja ?

i always eat ice cream. its my favorite sweet no matter what i have. cold cough or swine flu...

It happened to me on few occasions but long long time ago when I was still a kid! After that, I had it once in my college when my friend insisted me on having it. And let me tell you experience was worst because having an ice-cream not only added to my sneezing and headache but my cold was also prolonged by 3/4 days. That experience was enough and now I never succumb to any temptation or insistence of others, when I have periods of cold.

actually, ice cream is one of those things they give you when you have tonsils removed...

Those sound very good! I think I would like them a lot. For some reason, I always crave ice cream when I have a sore throat. I think the cold feeling on a sore throat feels really good. Last time I was sick, I had a chocolate shake every day. It made me feel better. I don't know if it is all in my head, but if it works, I don't see anything wrong with it.

I can never resist a good icecream. If i feel like eating one when i have a cold then i'll eat it. I love eating icecream when its raining or anytime of the year. It is something good to eat. There shouldnt be a time of the year to eat it.

Yes, I have done this when I have a cold or milkshakes too. They say milk it makes more flem etc... But I do not believe that. When you have a fever sometimes ice cream can help make you feel more comfortable especially on a hot day when you are not feeling well. I also eat Popsicle too when I am under the weather. Now during winter and have a cold I want something warm like chicken soup etc.. Thanks Unique16

Hi oindy! Do I ever?!!hahahaha!! I think it's fine to give in to sweet temptations every once in a while. Just don't overdo it. Yesterday, I was craving for some dark chocolates. I've been very good in doing my exercises anyway so having a piece would do me some good, I thought. hehehehe...So, I gave it! It was heavenly! And now, I am forced once more to go to the gym to burn off the calories I ate from that single bar. As for your sore throat, just drink pineapple juices. It's very effective!

No I didn't have ice cream while affected by cold and cough. It is because Iam health cautious. Surely I will try one day. AS you said circumstances tempted to eat ice cream. In my case same too but there is exception.In certain case like a man is so poor and he want to feed his family. He try to steal ones purse and he was caught.Here the man`s poverty has tempted him to do that. here he can ask his friend or relative for help.
