Food that Helps When You are Sick

[Burque]

My Fiance is super sick, and I am sliding down the hill currently.

Some crazy cold/flu/sinus/general ickiness that she brought home from work. I am not looking forward to the next 48 hours and without the tussin I would already be hating life. So, trying to find out what other people use to remedy themselves when they are feeling the yuck.

We had vietnamese soup last night and it helped her for a couple of hours.

There is the ever present American cure all of Chicken noodle soup.

I am thinking about doping myself up on NyQuil and calling it quits for the next day and a half, but I have a rather important meeting on Thursday at lunch and would like to be functional by then.

What would you eat/what drugs would you take in my situation?

Thanks in advance.

I literally almost never drink soda but when I am sick for some reason a Pepsi or coke will really make me feel better. I usually eat crackers/toast and a Pepsi...that is if my sickness is stomach related...if I have a flu or something like that it would be chicken soup and a coke ...

Pot is the new medicinal cure-all. So light a big blunt and make yourself well.

Buy some zinc tablets and take a couple of those anytime you are sick or start feeling sick.

Drown your system in Orange Juice.

The zinc and vitamin-C both help your immune system get on the counter-attack.

Soup and toast with tea make me feel better.... I think there is a mind over matter thing that makes warm beverages and liquid meals help you feel better.

If you are congested, load your soup with black pepper.... **** it, it will clean out ur sinuses one way or another.

Whenever I have a cough related illness, Sprite seems to make me feel a lot better for some reason. Or just any sort of lemon lime soda.

Ginger Ale, Gatorade, I think the zinc and vitamin C helps, too. Chicken soup or broth. Eat whatever you can stomach or feel like eating. Stay hydrated and get as much rest as you can.

Idk about you guys, but when I have a cold.... I eat more than normal.... if you have the flu and are puking then I get the whole idea of eating light and mostly just drinking fluids.... but I never understood why my mom applied the same thing to when we had colds.

Don't they say feed a cold, starve the flu or something along those lines?

Egg drop soup

Feed a cold, starve a fever.

It can be hard to find but tangerine juice has worked well for me, I think better than OJ

One tab, two disco biscuits mix some ginger ale and some whisky together, drop a quarter of a gram of MD in it and sip for the next few hours. Once you come down off that you'll forget you've got a cold.

Sorted.

More than likely do what Ares said though. Someone told me the exact same sorta thing and it worked a treat.
