"What to Eat and Not to Eat to Reduce Excess Phlegm"
"Milk and its derivatives like cheese, cream, butter and yogurt contain casein molecules which stimulate phlegm production.
In addition, dairy contains a sugar called lactose which further increases mucus secretion."
"Avoiding certain mucus producing foods can help your healing process."

Despite commercial pushback that milk is not associated with mucus production,
it is a reality ... and caution that excess dairy consumption is not wise when ill
(especially when suffering from respiratory disease and pandemics).

"Is Sheep and Goat Dairy Healthier Than Cow Dairy?"
"there is casein in goat and sheep milk, but not in the same form as cow milk. Sheep and goat dairy contain much less or no A1 beta-casein; instead, they mostly contain the more easily digestible A2 beta-casein, which is a big part of the reason they’re thought to be healthier."

Perhaps a better option if mucus production is a problem.
