I ate 6 cone of ice cream today.. i hate when sore throat hapen.. im loosing appetite and it feel so uncomfortable to talk.. Undeniable ice cream is the best remedy for sore throat, the pain go away immediately but now im having new problem, i m eating ice cream while its raining and cold, now i caught cough and flu which is even more uncomfortable than the sore throat.. Its time for drowsy Benadryl!

Hi, Cairalyssa, I hope that you'll get better soon. By the way the flu means viruses so I think that you shouldn't blame the ice cream for this. Years ago a doctor prescribed ice cream to my daughter who had a sore throat and called this a cryotherapy. She was so happy - instead of cough potion she was getting her favourite thing.

I don't remember very well, but I think that my daughter had an inflammation and the doctor explained that the cold would kill the bacteria. Anyway, the ice cream did no harm and the kid was happy:D

Hi cairalyssa, so sorry that you are feeling bad and hope you feel better soon..But who need a reason the consume ice cream...LOL But to be very honest, I've read the responses to your post and it seem like you reeived a lot of remedies for your illness...I can't help but to think that some of these will help you feel better.. It not raining or cold in your home so how did you catch a cough and flu...or is your home cold... Feel better soon, its not a good feeling to be ill...

Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar followed by a tablespoon of honey should do the trick for you. The vinegar doesn't taste very good but it does help with the sore throat, the honey coats your throat and it's better than eating a ton of ice cream! Hope you're feeling better soon!

In fact I don't think having ice cream is helpful for sore throat. I suggest you to have the mint candy candy or drink more water and have enough rest. Usually it means you are catching a cold when you have a sore throat. And the medicine can make you feel a little better but it can not solve the problem right away. So you really need to have a good rest and drink enough water and this can make you recover sooner. I love China

For sore throat, you should have taken a hot water with a little salt. It hits the back throat pretty well. Ice cream is okay but it's the sugar that I'm worried with. Bacteria loves sugar, you know. As for the cold, get yourself vitamin C, instead, to strengthen your immune system. After a little rest you'll be fine in 3 days time. Remember: hot water with a pinch of salt for sore throat; Vitamin C for the immune system and lots and lots of water. It'll be a pain if you get fever afterwards.

I'm going to have a little later on tonight as same here with the flu. But I'm not that hungry. Someone told me to cook up some onions and pour on honey. It suppose to get rid of it. And your friends too. I'll try it tomorrow. For the flu not the friends.

I like ice cream but seldom eat it. It is common that ice cream is served at the wedding reception. When I am invited to come to the wedding reception, the choice to have a cone of ice cream before having somethng to eat. I like ice cream and so do you. We have got something in common, haven't we?.

I've also been told that ice cream does help when relieve sore throat. It's the coldness of it that helps soothe the soreness. And yes, getting the flu is far more uncomfortable than just having sore throat. Try also to drink lots of liquids and load up on your vitamin c intake and just wait it out since that flu virus would run its course in a week's time :)

Wow! six ice cream cones? That is a whole lot. I am not surprised that you got sore throat. Hmm, I suggest that you start drinking lots of fluids. Warm or hot fluids to ease and soothe the pain. Hope this helps :)
