none of the above.only take paracetamol if fever but try to avoid.rub some balm on the chest ,ribs and throat and inhale as well.get it from Asian shops as these are much better.drink grape juice with spoon of honey drink 3-4 times daily.Tea made from aniseed's 3-4 times with little honey.Onions are very good,gently dry over slow heat until brown and eat with your meal.Drink plenty warm water and do not drink water with your meals.30-40 minutes before or after meals.

I'd avoid dairy products as they can increase mucus production and if you feel up to it go for high protein and vitamin rich foods. Chicken and fish are good and relatively easy to digest, stick to light meals so as not to divert resources from fighting the virus. Fresh fruit, especially high in vitamin C and vegetables rich in iron will help. Keep up your fluids, preferably drinking clear fluid such as water, lemonade, or lemon tea with honey. I wish you better soon.

Chicken soup is supposed to be great when you are unwell.
I would get to see a doctor tomorrow to check you out.
Are you coughing anything up? If so you could have a chest infection, pneumonia or pleurisy symptoms.
See links below.

Chicken soup. Diluted orange or blackcurrent juice and plenty of rest!
Catch up on some reading in bed.
Good luck!

you must always feed a cold and starve a fever,when you get flu its good to eat as it helps recovery,tomato soup is good,vegetables and fruit,and plenty of hot drinks.start taking vitamin c tablets.

The best advice is to rest, keep warm, and keep your fluid intake up. If you feel no better after a few days, consult a doctor.
