Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Hello. The “brain freeze” symptoms are not typically noted without a trigger. It’s worth a visit to her Pediatrician and possibly an ENT vs Pediatric Neurologist. It’s most probably a trigger maybe from allergy or an irritant and maybe a steroid nasal spray like Flonase can help. I hope this helps.
