Why do some cough after eating ice cream?
I cough after ice cream, and so do my parents. Why does that always happen?

I'm allergic to dairy so I develop mild cold-like symptoms when I have too much dairy. Most things just gives me a stuffy nose or some throat phlegm, but ice cream and sometimes yogurt make me cough. I've never had symptoms last for more than a half hour.
From what my doctor has told me, it's fairly common in people who were lactose intolerant as babies, and there's really nothing you can do to about it except not eat dairy. I don't know about you, but a little coughing is not enough to make me stop eating ice cream and cheese!
