Cough: You can eat whatever you want with a productive cough. There are certain people who have dairy intolerance  that results in allergy type symptoms so just be aware.

Question 8

is it generally no issue to eat ice cream every day?

Accepted Answer

Sure: Life's hard enough without worrying about everybody's scientific / subscientific advice about what you should and should not eat. This can be part of a sensible diet. If you're staying physically fit, aren't fat, and your blood lipids are decent, enjoy your treat. If you're dieting or you want to avoid overweight, it's easy to skip.

Question 9

she vomits after she eats vanilla ice cream, what could be her problem?

Accepted Answer

Who is "she" ?: By "she" are you referring to an elderly individual, infant, child, pregnant lady? There are different answers for each, due to anticipated co-morbidities & risks. Also, is it only vanilla ice cream that causes her problem, all flavors of ice cream, or all foods; & is there blood, bile, food mixed with vomitus, weight loss, pain--makes a considerable difference in what assistance we can render.

Question 10

could someone get sick from eating a little piece of year old ice cream?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I assume this has been kept in the freezer. If so, then it is unlikely that you will have any problems, unless the product was recalled for some reason or it was contaminated with a spoiled food at some point..  Too long in the freezer affects taste quality and possibly nutrient qualities, but is otherwise not that big a deal.  Obviously, if you feel sick, get checked.
