If you have a sore throat, ice cream will relieve the pain, but can also lead to a bacterial infection, Dinara Kalieva, a general practitioner at State Municipal District No. 4 in Almaty, warned NUR.KZ readers.
“With a sore throat, the tonsils become inflamed, the mucous membrane of the throat swells. Ice cream cools the throat, which reduces swelling and makes swallowing easier. On the one hand, cold is like a vasoconstrictor, but, on the other hand, we must not forget that ice cream contains a large amount of the amount of sugar and protein. And this composition has a beneficial effect on the proliferation of microbes and bacteria,” explained Dinara Kalieva.
According to the doctor, it is contraindicated to eat ice cream immediately following tonsil removal, because following surgery, a cold treat can provoke a bacterial infection. And if the patient starts coughing, bleeding may occur. Therefore, following surgery, it is better to refrain from eating ice cream for two to four weeks.
Earlier, otolaryngologist Azamat Usipbekov said that people more often get sore throat in autumn and winter, because when their nose is stuffy, they switch to breathing with their mouth open, as a result of which cold air enters the throat and the inflammatory process in the tonsils begins.
