Just a note - if it IS Strep Throat, ice cream will not cure it. It's a bacteria that needs antibiotics to get rid of it. Doctors, depending on your insurance, will allow you to get a shot or 10-14 days worth of penicillian (sp?). If you're allergic to that medicine, they will obviously give you another kind, but it doesn't work as fast as penicillian does. If it's just a sore throat, then ice cream can help. Ice cream can help the symptoms, but it won't help the bacteria growing! If it persists, or you have a headache, stomach ache, or breathing problems, go to your doctor. Typically Strep Throat also comes with a sore throat, headaches, and stomach aches. I come from many many years of non-stop Strep Throat.
