What do/should eat when feeling sick/cold/tired?

clevebride2006

I've been battling this cough/congestion for a few days and I feel worse today than the last few days (though coughing is much less frequent now).

I know I should eat-every time I get out of bed, I feel a bit woozy and dizzy.

Not hungry at all... any ideas?

fwiw, my throat isn't so dry (since I'm coughing less), but still kind of sore... don't feel like cooking either...

What do you eat to make you feel better?

I don't know about what you should eat/drink, but I always like Wegmans rotisserie chicken soup, mashed potatoes, orange juice and really cold Gatorade. 

I woke up with huge glands and a stuffed nose so I'll be hitting up the grocery store:(.

Garlic always works.  I recenly tried oil of oregano, that will kick whatever is ailing you!

Soup is the best on a dry/coughing throat. I love simple chicken broth cooked with a pasta and veggies. I also tend to let my body think of what it wants when I'm sick. If I do not feel like eating, I can usually focus on something I'd like. For me, it often involves cheese!

Feel better!

Its egyptian but guaranteed to clean you out. Molokhia or molokhiya (jews mallow soup) different recipes are spelled differently but basically its jute plant soup. Usually drink hot tea, theraflu or coffee to warm my insides up if they are cold.
