There is such a thing as a cold allergy, but you'd be aware of it by now if you had one!. There are a lot of positive and negative effects to the cold, you shouldn't ice any part of your body longer than 15 minutes!. After 20 minutes you can cause tissue damage!. Cold causes your blood vessels to constrict and decreases your circulation and metabolism!. Try alternating heat and cold or doing short cold treatments of up to a minute and then removing it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Hmm!. !. !. Try calling a doctor!. Or put ice because Ice doesnt do any harm, it just heals up something!. Like when i had my head bleeding i used ice and it cooled down the blood and i put a bandage and after a few days it was healed!. So yeah that maybe normal but i`M not sure!. Im not a doctor so yeah!. i Hope i helped :] GOOD LUCK c(=Www@Answer-Health@Com
