Is it starve a cold and feed a fever, or other way around?
And if you have a cold _with_ fever, should you binge and purge?
Not as funny as the one that stopped me last night. :)
In either case, if you're not a vegetarian, chicken broth is decent
stuff. Having chunks of chicken, plus other stuff such as rice or
noodles or various vegetables isn't a bad thing.
(I think the "starve a fever" went out at some point; if you're sick,
eat what you can to keep up your strength. If you're having
gastrointestinal issues, try just a BRAT diet until you're doing better.
If you're vomiting, be very easy on your stomach, and if the vomiting
doesn't start getting better before you're approaching problematic
dehydration, get some meds for it. I personally like promethazine; in
an IV, it puts me out fairly soundly, and if I'm in a situation where
I'm already on an IV, sleeping probably is beneficial. Sure beats
freaking out because someone has messed with the carefully-arranged
lighting arrangement and walked out again before you can say anything.)
