There is an opinion that if you have a sore throat you should definitely drink more hot drinks, but this is a mistake.

When you are sick, it is better to avoid hot foods, and you should also avoid spicy foods for a while.

You can eat ice cream at the same time.

If a person has a sore throat, ice cream will be a good method of therapy.

This unexpected statement was made by general practitioner Sergei Alendeev.

He noted that it is hypothermia that provokes the problem.

For example, when a person talked a lot in the cold, he forgot to put on a scarf.

But the inflammation is not provoked by the cold itself, but rather by viral and bacterial infections.

Ice cream will slow down the transmission of pain.

The dessert will act as if it were ice applied to a bruise.

“This is a type of local anesthesia; the pain-relieving effect in this case is associated with the activation of receptors,” the publication Tsargrad quotes the specialist as saying.
