Does ice cream help sore throats?

This is a good question. Ice cream has a soothing effect because the "cold" ice cream has a numbing effect on the inflammation in the throat (which causes the "sore" effect). However, too much ice cream during a sore throat can actually cause discomfort and delay the natural healing process of the body. Plus, if there's lots of sugar in it, of course that will irritate it as well.

Hope this helps!

Anything cold is normally great for a fever. It helps bring down your temperature. But ice cream is full of fat and unhealthy calories. I recommend switching to cold yogurt or popsicles or something that is not quite as heavy of a substance so that you can still get your sweet fix and benefit your sore throat.

Yes the cold might make it feel better temporarily. But really all that sugar is going to do is give the bacteria causing the sore throat food. Making it worse.

I suggest you swig some hard liquor XD

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.?

i hear it does what you can do is try some Tylenol and some vitamin B but cod liver oil gel capsules works best it boost your immune system, doctors will tell you it don't.

Yes, it does help.

yeah, but mentally it does you good

thx for the answers, much appreciated
