Okay, any article that makes ice cream allowable when ill gets an A+. So far, we’ve tackled sugar and ice cream. I’m so happy!

What other treats can we make okay?

Speaking of irrational moms, I tried to leave my strep throat over a long weekend when my sons were one a three and ended up being hospitalized! One of the more embarrassing episodes of my life.

Don’t do what I did. Go get it sorted out. And have some ice cream while you’re at it.

Good to know. I never questioned that particular myth either.

This is very timely, as I was just diagnosed with my third strep infection in 3-4 months and I need to go see an ENT now. Thanks!

I was brought up similarly to your physician. Milk makes phlegm.

When I was living in Poland, I was rather surprised to discover that conventional wisdom there had that milk was recommended because it produced phlegm (or seemed to) thus helping to rid bad stuff. And not just my girlfriend’s mother, but doctors as well.

So, there you go.

You poor thing! That’s terrible that they did that to you. The least they could have done was give you popsicles and fruit sorbet.
