Does Ice Cream help a sore throat?
I'm told it can be soothing but then I've also been told it can make your throat worse, and I don't want it to get any worse. I want something cold to eat and maybe Popsicles would be a better choice than ice cream?

Ice cream will make it feel better when you eat it but will make it worse in the end. I usually eat Italian ice when I have a sore throat. If you think you can handle something hot, try gargling with warm salt water (just sprinkle a decent amount of salt into a glass or water and stick it in the microwave) or drink some tea with honey.

Yes... kind of. It doesn't have any magic ingredients, it's just cold. Put anything else in the freezer then take it out and place it against your throat (with the exception of a knife please) and it'll do the same job. It just numbs the pain temporarily. However, to prove a point, take the ice cream out the freezer let it melt and turn to Temperature, it's still what it was before but doesn't help your throat.

It tends to make you feel better because you are eating something that is exhilarating to your taste buds and it does numb the pain with the cold. The question is what flavor do you want to help cure your sore throat.?

Right, not ice cream. It is full of lactose, and sugar which causes saliva and phlegm, and in other words is mucus producing.

ice-cream might make it feel all right at first but it will make it worse. try sucking on some ice cubes or having an icey pole...
