    Eat something with hot peppers in it, if you are OK with those kinds of foods. I am a pepper fanatic (Tabasco, jalapenos, habanero salsa, etc.) under normal circumstances, but when I am sick I take in even more. The red (ripe) forms of jalapenos, etc., if you can find them, are sweeter & chock full of Vitamin C. Also, I have found that Chinese hot mustard clears the sinuses better & faster than anything else I have tried

    Hope you are feeling better very soon!!!

    i'm sick right now, too. :( Anybody know if you're supposed to feed a cold and starve a fever, or is it feed a fever and starve a cold?

    I believe the current thinking now is that if you're hungry, whether you have a cold and/or a fever, eat something. If you're not hungry, at least keep the fluid intake up.

    Hot chicken noodle soup and a back rub always did wonders for me. Didn't help my cold much but it felt good.
