I've been really sick lately with a sore throat and cough, and i was wondering if there are types of food i can avoid that has possibly made it worse. Also what kinds of food can i eat that will make it better, or relieve the pain of my throat?

It might just be me, but tomato products (spaghetti sauce, ketchup, tomato juice, etc.) have always made my throat hurt worse.
You could try popsicles or cold drinks. They might help with the pain.

milk can often cause the body to produce more mucus and that can cause more drainage, causing more sore throat.
also, excess sugar can supress the immune system making it harder for your body to fight the infection.
Hope you feel better soon. I haven't been feeling so well myself.

avoid high acid food and drink, like tomato products or orange juice or citrus fruit.
drinking ice water will minimize swelling and then warm tea will soothe.
