I have a really bad cold, and I was just wondering if I actually burned any calories by coughing.

I think you burn like 1-5 calories when you laugh, so a cough wouldn't be that far off from those numbers. On an interesting note, chewing gum speeds up your metabolism by 10-20%!

I would say that would depend on the severity of the cough and whether or not you have a fever and/or loss of appetite.
You're looking hard for that silver lining, aren't you? ;) Feel better!
