Btw I got it from the cold so it's not like I just got a tonsil removal surgery. ;D

Ice cream will coat your throat and worsen your cough. It is recommended after a tonsillectomy because the cold will reduce the swelling after the surgery. If you have a sore throat, italian ices, popsicles, jell-o, and shebrets are better. They'll soothe your pain, but won't coat your throat.

It usually helps me, but I love ice cream so it might just be that it makes me happy. If you really want to numb the pain, though, try sucking on a clove. I know it sounds weird, but cloves actually have some sort of natural anesthetic, and if you suck on one for about twenty minutes it really does help. You can also buy throat sprays that will temporarily numb the pain, and those also work fairly well.

Just gargle with warm salty water
also try Halls Fruit Breezers they are very soothing and do not have that taste that the mentholated halls has, also try some Tylenol cough and sore throat, works well but causes drowsines, have some hot tea with honey and lemon too.

Temporarily. The cold effect numbs the throat for a minute, and the liquid can be soothing. But five minutes later you're back to square one.

Well, it might be smart to have a culture done to see if you have strep throat. To ease a sore throat, eating fresh pineapple helps, also gargling with water with salt in it, helps. Herbal lemon tea, with honey in it, also is soothing.

Not so much "Ice Cream" as sorbet or frozen yogurt.
Ice cream is usually textured somewhat hard, but smooth ice cream should give u a temporary soothing effect.
