Milk does not directly thicken mucus, but some people believe it can contribute to a sensation of increased mucus production. This perception may arise because dairy products can create a coating in the mouth and throat, which some individuals interpret as thicker mucus. However, scientific evidence on this effect is limited, and reactions can vary from person to person. Overall, milk's impact on mucus thickness is largely anecdotal.

Does drinking milk cause the lungs to produce more phlegm?
yes.... yes it does Above answer is incorrect, milk only increases phlegm production if you are allergic to milk. For most people it just *thickens* the mucus that is already produced at normal rates. Drinking water is actually the best way to get your mucus out. People think that milk either produces mucous or thickens it - why they think this is unclear to me but studies show that this is not true. Several clinical studies have infected people with cold viruses and measured the total mucous production and thickness in response to subjects who drank milk (cow's milk) or were milk free. There was no difference in either mucous production or mucous thickness. However, the patients who believed that milk produced mucous reported that they thought they had more mucous or that is was thicker. The only way milk would increase mucous is if you were allergic, but this would likely produce gastric distress and rashes etc, not likely pulmonary mucous production in isolation.
