It seems that right now I really want cold foods, and nothing to do with hot. I'm literally sticking ice cubes in my ears! I have BIG issues with my sinus's and drainage is causing my throat to become sore. My ears are terribly clogged up with mucas and my nose won't stop running! Please help! What foods should I eat, and what foods should I stay away from? I haven't eaten for 6 hours, and I'm starving!

You might want to go to your doctor if you are that bad. But, if you want to try to get yourself better at home, you can take echinacea, vitamin c, and zinc - those will help fight whatever you have. As for food you need to eat some broth/chicken soup - you don't have to have it hot if you don't want to. Another thing you can have is soy milk smoothies - it won't make your mucus situation worse since it's non dairy. When I had my tonsils out all I ate for about a month were soymilk smoothies and ice cream. Hope you feel better soon.

Take a lot of Vitamin C.Eat citrus fruits. Drink a lot of water. For the meantime, stop eating cold foods..you are just aggravating your case. You are also to avoid sweet stuff like chocoloate since your throat is sore. Take medicines as advised by doctors to help you get rid of mucosa and clogged nose. Hope this helps. God bless!

Well I have always heard starve a fever and feed a cold, but if you have the flu then you should concentrate on liquids instead of food. If you want something cold then eat jello or Popsicle's. I've always drank chicken broth when I was sick that gives you a little strength also. Good Luck.

Stay away from greasy stuff: That won't stay on your stomach very well.
Cold wet foods and liquids are good. Or try hot lemon and honey to help with your nose and to get some vitamin C into your system.

I to am such as you I surely have a perplexing time staying far off from nutrition like Pizza while i'm weight-reduction plan. i admire the cheese and pepperoni. i do unlike skinny crust the two. So I settle for one i do no longer look after so I won't devour as very comparable to veg. LOL

Stock up on raw blueberries...they are loaded with antioxidants.....I cannot stress enough VITAMIN C....there are skeptics about this but it's proven to be a natural cure.
Apple Cider Vinegar....read about it online...it's a natural cure. Gargle with it and drink it with water (while holding nose lol)....it has natural antibiotics loaded in it.
Eat more fruit....drink liquids...rest.
Hope this helps and u feel better....I just recovered from shingles....ughhhhhh

try to stay away from dairy products. If you are feeling sick, try eating somethin bland, like dry toast
