Well, since everyone is advocating greasy food, well...I read somewhere that junk food puts you in a good mood and that helps you get better quicker...mind over matter, that sort of thing. You can't go too far wrong with some McDonalds food and a funny movie or book. Tasty and funny.

As to the Sprite comment...sure! I used to drink 7-Up when I had a bad cold or whatever. 7-Up...make you feel GOOD! You try.

I most totally have to agree with the hangover statement there is nothing better than a greasy ass double cheese burger the morning of a hangover

The only thing I can stomach when I'm sick is fruit and crackers, usually grapes or watermelon and some saltines.

this made me sick once maniac i couldent look at a cheese burger for weeks

I agree with the greasy food for a hang over too. I am more of a greasy breakfast type tho. Or we have this deli here that makes the sandwiched called Rise and Shiners -it's egg, cheese, meat of your choice (bacon, sausage or ham) and a hash brown on a huge bulky sub roll. They are soooooooo good for a night after drinking.

As for being actually sick I go for soup- chicken noodle or tomato w/a grilled cheese is good. And ginger ale or tea or juice.

Right now, a mug of chicken noodle soup with lots of saltine crackers. Topped off with some sweet tea, which i gargle for emphasis hahaa, and hopefully later, my dad will bring me a milkshake.

When I'm sick...well, I get sick about twice a year if that, but...

Lightly steamed vegetables, with just a little butter, and pepper.
Fresh, cooling foods...salads are nice.
Fish is good when I can get it, always makes me feel better.
Ginger, lots of ginger.

I also make a drink....kinda passed down in my family...of course I've made my own alterations to it. It'll sound disgusting to all of you, but essentially it's not THAT much about the flavour, just that it makes you feel better, and has semi-medicinal properties. It tastes rather strong, but not bad...
Ok...Hot water, LOTS of freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, birdseye chillis, ginger, cloves, honey, peppercorns, and I'll throw in a green tea bag.

i hope you feel better posh

Tomato soup...

Chicken soup...

Corn soup...




and more soup. For an upset tummy.

Thanks! I'm ok now, it's really a morning thing. I really just have a sore throat and a stuffy nose now, but I think overwork and no sleep just caught up with me. I'll be ok tomorrow.
