Answer 1

too cold for the throat.

Answer 2

Well it is one of those things that is considered "a myth" by Scientists, but still cannot be explained because I swear it happens to me every timee I eat dairy products and I know it does for a lot of people. They can't really explain it. Though I just got thru eating some fruit salad that had sugar in it and it does seem to me whenever I eat things with sugar it tends to do that too so maybe it is not the milk, but rather the sugar breaking down in the throat. Who knows, but I hope you find some answer that sounds reasonable out there for you.  

Answer 3

Because the ice cream reacts with your saliva and creates a thicker more mucousy secretion which can irritate the back of the throat, so then we try to clear our throat and cough.

Answer 4

Because its really cold

or and sometimes milk does make you cough
