Ice cream headache is something that starts after exposing oneself to cold foods. It could be ice cream, it could be cold milk, it could be cold water, ice cubes. Usually seen in young children, also seen in adults but it's something that can happen only in those susceptible to this kind of a problem. People who have migraine are most susceptible to this kind of a headache. The reason is for an abnormal stimulation of a particular ganglion known as the sphenopalatine ganglion which triggers this headache. So the nerve impulses because of the cold temperature cause this problem. Well this is a self-limiting problem. It can be intense and sometimes even severe. Patient can have debilitating symptoms of headache but it is extremely self-limiting. It can regress spontaneously just by exposing the person to some warm liquids or taking out the offending cold stimulus. But in the event that they do have this kind of a headache and it's very bad they can be given analgesics in the interim period to bring down the pain. That's about all that's required. So people who have migraine have to be careful when having very cold foods.
