No, although it may make you feel a little worse, it won't make the cold itself worse or harder to get over. It has been long reported by cold sufferers that when they drank milk it seemed to increase their production of mucus and make them feel more stuffy and congested.
An Australian study was actually done in volunteers to address this question. It showed that people drinking lots of milk had no more nasal mucus than those not drinking milk.
A Mayo Clinic report backs this study with the following information:
Phlegm is the thick, sticky mucus that drips down the back of your throat when you have a cold. Although drinking milk may make phlegm thicker and more irritating to your throat than it would normally be, milk doesn't cause your body to make more phlegm. In fact, frozen dairy products can soothe a sore throat and provide calories when you otherwise may not eat.
Many people suggest dairy is fine, but you might want to increase your clear liquid intake along with it so the thickness of the mucus is not as noticeable.

∙ 14y agoNo, it will actually make it better. When your sick, you are supposed to be eating and drinking because those vitamins that you consume will help fight the sickness. You should eat as much as you can when your sick so that your body reaches the daily vitamins it needs to stay healthy.
