Does ice cream causes cold and cough specially in winters.

Question

Depends upon your sensitivity to cold. Seems you are fond of having Ice Creams but afraid of cold nad cough. Having too many ice creams definitely can make your throat vulnerable for direct infection but having a single cup or stick of it may not if there is no sensitivity to cold. The trick is don't gulp the ice cream fast as soon as you take a bite but hold it for a few seconds in the mouth cavity and allow your body temperature to raise its temperature for a while and enjoy its taste. Then you can swallow it without any fear of having cold or cough.
