Is it true that ice cream is good if I have a sore throat?
Aug 29, 2013

Dr. Faek Jamali Surgery
A sore throat is usually caused by a viral upper respiratory infection.
Eating ice cream has absolutely no effect on the sore throat.
Rating ice is generally recommended as a way of reducing swelling in the throat following surgery. This does not apply to Sore throat related to viral illness.

Ice is helpful in sore throat after surgery or those related to irritation and allergy
