The ice cream can temporarily relieve the pain of the throat, but it does not have a therapeutic effect, Aif.ru reports, citing family doctor Nadezhda Chernishova.
"Ice cream can temporarily relieve the pain of the throat, because the cold slightly narrows the blood vessels and reduces the swelling. This provides a light painful effect. However, it is important to remember that the ice cream does not treat the pain of the throat, "said Chernishova.
The doctor clarified that the cold could be contraindicated in the case of certain diseases of the throat. For example, in the case of larlingite, which causes difficulty or talking about the difficulty of speaking, ice cream is not recommended, because the cold has a negative impact on the vocal cords and can worsen the situation.
According to the specialist, there are more effective treatments for the pain of throat, such as special pastillers or pills.
