It will not make your cold worst. BUT Milk products make mucus so it could cause you to have more congestion(temporary)

I would avoid all dairy products when you have a cold. Dairy prducts like milk, cheese, yoghurt, ice cream and soy products can cause mucous to thicken dramatically. This can then inhibit proper drainage. The also cause more discomfort with upper respiratory infections.
When the protein of another animal is introduced into one’s immune system, an allergic/immune response is created in many places in the body. A common reaction to such an assault by a foreign protein in our immune system is an outpouring of mucus from the nasal and throat membranes. The resulting mucus flow can create the chronic runny noses, persistent sore throats, hoarseness, bronchitis, and the recurrent ear infections.

No, if you have a cold you should avoid any dairy products (milk, ice cream, cheese etc.). It will "gum up" the back of your throat, and if you are already congested, that doesn't help. Doctors are now changing their mind and saying it doesn't affect your cold, but believe me, from experience, I'd stick to the old theory. Plus, when you're sick, there's a good chance that it is slightly dehydrated, so you'd want to stick with juice or water (gatorade or some kind of vitamin water would be best).

Eating ice cream will not affect a cold.

Its not a good idea in general because milk and everything mad eout of milk (including ice cream) creates more mucus. If you have a sore throat, its not too good, either, but warm drinks like warm milk/hot chocolate/tea (green is best)/coffee are good.

people get colds because of viruses not cold weather or cold foods. It's what you believe that hurts your body. If you think something is going to kill you, it will. Think yourself healthy.
Peace and Love your way.
