Question: is it okay to eat ice cream when you have tonsillitis?
Answer: Eat foods and drink fluids that help soothe your throat (for example, drink warm liquids such as tea or clear broth; eat cold treats such as ice cream, frozen yogurt or popsicles; let ice chips melt in your mouth). Gargle with warm salt water. Use an air humidifier to eliminate dry air, which can irritate the throat.
