Brain Freeze | Ice Cream Headache - Frequently Asked Questions


Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which doctor should I consult in case of brain freeze?

Individuals do not generally consult a doctor for brain freeze since the pain does not last for more than a minute. A primary physician will diagnose the condition as brain freeze when informed of the symptoms.

2. Does an individual experience brain freeze in winter?

Individuals are less likely to be subjected to brain freeze when consuming cold foods in winter due to the reduced temperature difference between the cold food and the surrounding temperature. However, a study by Maya Kaczorowski found that individuals can experience ice cream headaches even when eating ice cream slowly in the winter. This is in contrast to the results obtained from previous studies.
