Answer 2

Brain freeze, ice cream headache, freezie Frozen Brain Syndrome or its given scientific name Spheno Palatine Gangleoneuralgia are terms used to describe a form of cranial pain or headache which people are known to sometimes experience after consuming cold beverages or foods such as ice cream, slurpees, or margaritas, particularly when consumed quickly.
It has been reported that the pain can be relieved by moving the tongue to the roof of the mouth[1], which will cause greater warmth in the region; it is also believed that the pain can be relieved by slowly sipping room temperature water. Laying the head to the side may also provide relief. Creating a mask with ones hands and placing over the mouth and nose and breathing rapidly is also said to be useful as the temperature in the mouth rises quickly. A report was submitted to the British Medical Journal on brain freeze; it focused on the effect of speed of consumption of ice cream on causing brain freeze. Commonly referred to as "ice cream headaches," it has been studied as an example of referred pain,[2] an unpleasant sensation localised to an area separate from the site of the painful stimulation

Answer 3

You have lots of blood vessels in your mouth and in your head. When you eat something cold, the blood cools off in your mouth and then travels to other areas of your body. The blood vessels that go to your brain stay cold for a few seconds, and the nerves in your brain are just reacting to it.

Like the person before me said, you can warm them back up by putting your tounge to the top of your mouth.
