Why does eating ice after a sore throat relieve the pain? Let's take a look.
Why can eating ice relieve sore throat?
Its practical ice compresses or the way of eating popsicles to relieve sore throat are not uncommon in departments and surgeries.
For example, after some patients have surgery on the neck or throat, doctors will often recommend that patients do an ice pack or gargle with some ice water.
Ice can not only play a role in cooling and dissipating heat, but also allow local capillaries to contract, thereby stopping bleeding and pain, and preventing swelling of the affected area.

In fact, this is the same principle as everyone knows: after the tooth extraction, a little ice can relieve pain.
However, it should be noted that although eating ice cream can relieve some of the pain caused by colds, this can only be used as an auxiliary method.
Ice cream can only temporarily relieve symptoms, neither prevent the continuation of the disease nor make the inflammation disappear.

Therefore, Dr. Huaxi suggested that you should only actively treat the cause of the sore throat after clarifying the cause of the sore throat, and then use ice cream as an auxiliary means to resist the disease.
