Is ice cream good for a sore throat caused by flu or common cold?

Similar questions: ice cream sore throat caused flu common cold.

Yes and No..... 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. However, these are just hypothesis, as I am not aware of any scientific study to support or deny these theories.

Hope this helps! .

It can help The Mayo Clinic recommends it, along with popsicles. It's soft and cold, which deadens the angry nerve endings. Some people accuse milk products of causing extra mucus to build up, but that seems to be a myth.

If anything, the dairy helps coat your throat and ease the raw feeling. Basically, do whatever works for you. It's all about relieving the symptoms, because both colds and flu are going to run their course and there's little you can do about it.

If ice cream makes you feel better, have some ice cream.

Could be You know Vincent, it actually does seem to help me alot. In fact, dairy in and of itself helps me get over feeling sick...and I can't exactly explain why. Either its the Vitamin D that is in these products that can stregthen your immune system (general reference to Vitamin D here) >>> sciencenews.org/articles/20041009/bob8.asp Or it might be antiobiotic residues in milk from cows (which is made into ice cream) that are fed large doses of these antibiotics, and this is passively helping you kill off viruses in your system without you knowing about it.

Excerpt from a article that views cow's milk as toxic...>> notmilk.com/kradjian.html "Any lactating mammal excretes toxins through her milk. This includes antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals and hormones. Also, all cows' milk contains blood!

The inspectors are simply asked to keep it under certain limits. You may be horrified to learn that the USDA allows milk to contain from one to one and a half million white blood cells per millilitre. (That's only 1/30 of an ounce)."

It's also possible that the large amounts of sugar in ice cream are giving you a temporary energy boost, when your body is tied up in fighting off an infection, which leads to fatigue... In specific reference to a sore throat, I don't know... But ice cream would be one of the easiest foods to eat when you are facing irritation of this nature, and there is some nutritional benefit there, so if your doctor is recommending it, that might be why...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
