...and also it hurts when you breathe in general when you first go out. I know there is some sort of accepted biological reason because apparently my ex-biology teacher went on a rant about it. Nobody can remember what he said though and I am interested.

PS thank you for the answer but I don't mean brain freeze (which coincidentally I have never had!) I mean like when you go jogging in winter and your throat and mouth sort of ache inside.

you must be talking about when you eat ice cream & it gives you a headache,
sometimes called an ice cream headache or brain freeze.
When something very cold touches the center of the palate or roof of your mouth, the cold temperature can set off certain nerves that control how much blood flows to your head. The nerves respond by causing the blood vessels in the head to swell up. This quick swelling of the blood vessels is what causes your head to pound and hurt. Some people call this a "brain freeze," even though nothing is really happening in the brain - it's all in the blood vessels of the head.
And ice cream isn't the only food that can make your head hurt. Anything that's very cold, like ice pops, slushy frozen drinks, and even cold soda, water, milk, or juice can make the blood vessels swell.
A headache from ice cream or another cold food usually lasts about a minute or so, although it can feel like much longer. This kind of headache almost never lasts more than 5 minutes, and it goes away on its own. And although you may feel pain, it's not dangerous and doesn't mean that anything is wrong in your body.
