Eating ice cream doesn't directly cause a fever, though the cold can temporarily irritate your throat. Your symptoms are likely due to a common viral infection. For relief, you can take paracetamol or ibuprofen to help lower your fever and ease throat pain. Please follow the package instructions for the correct dosage. Additionally, try gargling with warm salt water and drink plenty of warm fluids to soothe your throat. Rest as much as possible. If your fever remains high or your symptoms do not improve after three days, please consult a doctor for a proper evaluation.

Pain around the throat or Adam?s apple after eating a lot of ice cream may occur because cold foods can irritate the throat lining, causing temporary inflammation or muscle tightness. In some people, excessive cold exposure may worsen throat sensitivity, trigger mild infection symptoms, or increase irritation from acid reflux. Dry throat, repeated coughing, or speaking loudly can also make the discomfort more noticeable. Warm fluids like soup, warm water, or herbal tea may help soothe the throat and reduce irritation. Gargling with warm salt water several times a day can also improve comfort. Avoid very cold foods, smoking, spicy foods, and carbonated drinks for some time while the throat heals. Doctors may advise pain relief or throat-soothing medicines if the pain becomes more troublesome or persistent. Proper hydration and voice rest may also help recovery. Consult a doctor if you develop fever, difficulty swallowing, swelling, breathing trouble, pus in the throat, or pain lasting more than several days.
