Ice Packs... They classify as medications?

Medication: Something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease.

So if the symptom was swelling or pain, and this ice pack helped with either, technically yes it could be classified as medication.

When I was in K-12, if I asked the school nurse for an ice pack, she'd ask me why I needed it, I'd explain that I was hit with a ball or whatnot during recess and she'd fill a Ziploc bag with ice, wrap it in a brown paper towel. Done.

K-12 schools are becoming increasingly stupid these days with stupid policies like that. I can see why a school nurse wouldn't give you acetaminophen or ibuprofen, but an ice pack? Please. Coaches give ice packs all the damn time.

i think that the work "medication" tends to mean something that take for something so no i don't think so :)

I think they consider them as medications because of what's inside of them(the components required to make them work) Some use Ice and a gel but if they consider them as medications I think they used salts combined with another chemical or water to create an endothermic reaction, we did this in chemistry lab and we had to take a lot of precaution when doing it :)

Yes. Ice can be used as a temporary analgesic (pain reliever) or as a means of reducing inflammation and swelling of damaged tissues, or to reduce fever.
