Fact, or just "old wives tale?"

My son and I are arguing about the consequences of drinking milk or eating ice cream when one has a cold and throat congestion. He says there is no harm in it. I have always believed, and my experience bears this out, that milk is mucus causing, and is not advised when one has a cold.

He says this is just an old wives tale.
CC parents… medical people and old wives…which is true?
If he’s right, I’ll quit nagging. (He’s currently recovering from a summer cold) and let him enjoy his ice cream.
