THERE ARE MANY nerves running from your spine, up the back of your neck at the base of your skull. When something really cold is swallowed, it passes by these nerves and causes a short-term ache at the base of the skull, which feels like a headache. When some people eat ice cream quickly, they will experience this short-term "headache", many times called an "ice cream headache". To my knowledge, this is not harmful. <<>>

Can you use penicillin for stomach pains?

Absolutely not. Stomach pains are related to another cause than an infection. Stress, gastritis, ulcer, may be the causes of stomach pain. Only a detailed diagnosis from a specialized doctor can tell you the source of your stomach pain. However, usually you can solve this problem easily by modifying your diet. Lowering your consumption of sugar, drinking more water, drinking cold milk associated with peppermint tea at your bedtime. Avoiding spicy foods is another providence you can take. Specially keeping your mind free of worries.
