I was eating some ice cream while i was answering some questions, and I got one of those ice creal headaches. Does anybody know whats the best way to get rid of them as quick as possible?
Answer
When something cold touches the roof of your mouth on a hot day, it triggers a cold headache. The cause is a dilation of blood vessels in the head. The dilation may be caused by a nerve center located above the roof of your mouth -- when this nerve center gets cold, it seems to over-react and tries to heat your brain.
Therefore, the easy way to avoid "brain freeze" is to keep cold things away from the roof of your mouth! They usually only last around 30 seconds so you should'nt have a headache any more, other than that , short of asprin, dunno, maybe somthing warm.
