you can eat anything you want to when u have a cold.
dairy products CAN make you more congested just b/c they are thick in consistency and take longer to digest.
but eat whatever you want to-especially if it makes you feel better
the key to any illness is to make sure you are drinking enough fluids to ward off dehydration
hope you feel better soon!!

Not preffered.
You must avoid any food made out of milk . Milk thickens your mucus. If you have allergies or a sinus infection, the mucus drains down your nasal passage and onto your throat irritating it causing you to cough. The milk products will thicken it but on the other hand it will take your body longer to heal and you will stay sick longer. As for sweets I think your Mom is just trying to get you to eat healthier right now so you can get to feeling better.

Guess it depends on how bad your cold is? Generally you should avoid; sugars, sodium,etc. Drink heaps of water. But really I don't think a little icecream would hurt.

I would definitely NOT suggest you do....
Milk is essentially cow pus, and putting more bacteria in your body isn't going to help you when you're ill from a bacterial infection...

But of course! Soft foods are best when you are ill, and when you've had too much "sweet", you can counter it with some hot, salty chicken soup!

Nothing says you can't, but if you have any congestion, dairy products will worsen it. That's never stopped me though.
