Does Ice Cream Make You Ill?

Does Ice Cream Make You Ill?

Dear Ice Cream Lovers,

Ice cream is rich in protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins A, B, C and E, and minerals including calcium, phosphorus, sodium, magnesium, iron and zinc. Produced hygienically and stored correctly, it is safe. In children with poor oral or throat health, such as tooth decay or chronic tonsillitis, or chronic conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis or sinusitis, very cold foods may temporarily constrict blood vessels around the throat and tonsils, reducing resistance and creating conditions favorable to infection. Hygienically prepared ice cream is unlikely to cause infection when licked or melted in small pieces in the mouth. Drinking non-cold water occasionally while eating it is also recommended.

Ice Cream After Tonsil Surgery

The first thing that comes to mind after tonsil surgery is ice cream. It is preferred because it is nutritious and consumed cold. The biggest desire of children who cannot eat ice cream due to chronic infection is to be able to have surgery and eat ice cream. Some children endure postoperative pain for the sake of ice cream:) While consuming ice cream, you should prefer to eat ice creams prepared daily in a healthy and hygienic environment. In particular, you can enjoy freshly prepared gelato and soft serve in summer and winter.

We wish you many ice-cream-filled days.
