A member asked:
Is it good or bad to eat ice cream with a very sore throat?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Use in moderation: There is no medical reason i can think of not to consume cold items when you have a sore throat. I would predict ice cream will dull the pain by more than one method (mental & actual).

It is Not Harmful: It may sooth, but does not cure.
