if you are coughing you want to avoid dairy, that causes everything to thicken up making the cough worse. Drink a lot of water and of course orange juice for the vitamin C.
Chicken Noodle soup is the best. It's not good to eat heavy foods when you are sick that's if you are running a high fever . You can try scrambled eggs, boiled chicken, toast , and crackers. One thing that you want to also avoid when you are congested is cold drinks that aggrevates it even more.
I hope you get better very soon. :0)
nondairy, just as long as it doesnt include milk or cream your okay.
Liquids and soft foods (if you can tolerate them.)
Juice. (good sources of vitamin C)
Colas and ginger ales. (settle your stomach.)
Jello. (add fluids.)
Mashed potatoes. (give you substance without upsetting your stomach.)
Applesauce. (always a good treat)
Cereals, especially oatmeal. (are light carbs and easier to digest than most foods.)
Stay away from heavy proteins (like meats, especially red meats.)
Avoid fried foods like the plague.
'hope it helps.
Get Well Soon!
