Can anyone tell me the fastest way to get rid of brain freeze?

Hello, When the body senses sudden, extreme cold in the mouth or throat, it tries to react and warm up. Blood vessels throughout the head expand to let extra blood into the area for warmth. That quick change in blood vessel size causes sudden pain. Pain occurs in the front part of your head. Can anyone tell me the fastest way to get rid of a brain freeze?

@ten Hello, That sudden, short headache that hits right when we’re eating or drinking something super-cold. The rapid change in temperature at the back of the throat where two arteries, one that sends blood to the brain and another that marks the beginning of brain tissue, meet prompts the arteries to dilate and contract. The sensation is interpreted as pain in the brain, which signals you to ease up on the speed-eating. If you get an ice cream headache, try to get the temperature of your mouth and throat back to normal. Stop eating or drinking the cold item, or get out of the cold, Drink a warm or room-temperature liquid, or Press your tongue or thumb against the roof of your mouth to transfer warmth. Thanks!!
