Yes: No studies have shown any problem with drinking milk if you have a fever. Milk may make any diarrhea worse, depending on the source of the fever.

Yes. : Some people that children should not drink milk if they have a cold or a fever. This is not true. Children can drink milk or eat other dairy products when the are ill, unless they are vomiting. For persistent vomiting, a child should stop milk and briefly go on a clear liquid diet.
