I am sorry to hear about your concern, but will be happy to assist you. The stabbing headache after eating ice cream is a reaction to the cold, not the ice cream itself. An ice cream headache is more likely if you are overheated. The pain peaks in about 30 to 60 seconds. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

It can be sinusitis. But I need details. Do saline gargles daily.

Cold induced headache is a known phenomenon but then it will occur whenever you eat something cold. Peanuts will certainly not cause it. What you can do is that you try not to eat cold things and see what happens, if there is a recurrence you can be given medication.

Hi, peanuts, and certain ingredients of ice-creams/kulfi - contains a protein substance called tyramine. It causes transient changes in the blood circulation of brain resulting in throbbing headaches. Some patient are sensitive to this protein have tendency to develop headaches after eating foods rich in this. Some examples - peanuts, cheddar cheese, processed meat, fish, dark chocolates, pickled meat/fish. It is advised to avoid these foods if you are experiencing headaches. All the best.
