The expression is "starve a fever, feed a cold" but the meaning (not many people know this!) was originally starve a fever and you will END UP feeding a cold.

It's either starve a fever, feed a cold or feed a fever, starve a cold. I can never remember so let me know when you find out. I have a cold and I'm not sure whether to eat or not!

It is starve a fever, feed a cold, but if a man has a cold it is called "I'm at deaths door" so do yourself a favour - go down the pub and have a good time until he decides he is over it.

Its feed a fever and starve a cold. And it relates to looking after yourself, plenty of fluids, warmth etc (like you would a plant) if you have a fever, and more or less getting on with it if its a cold.

Feed a cold, starve a fever!
And it works! Lots of liquids for both though.
