Have some chicken soup with lots of garlic. Drink some orange juice and go to bed.

You are supposed to feed a cold and starve a fever. The logic is that eating raises your body temperature so will not help the fever come down. However, when you have a cold, you need nutrition, so eating helps.
I don't know the answer to your second question.

This was quite helpful. Thank you. Other than not knowing the Tootsie Pop thing.
For the chicken soup recommenders out there, let's say that a person doesn't eat the chicken so much, could a substitution of some sort of tomato soup and/or minestrone work? Or should I just munch on a clove of garlic? |

Minestrone would probably work better than tomato soup, but I don't really have a dosage conversion calculator. The salt and garlic are essential, as well as the heat and protein.
I'm now craving the chicken soup at Biba's One's-A-Meal, though the chicken in a pot at Katz's is also really good.

Chicken soup may be best. http://archives.cnn.com/2000/HEALTH/...ken.soup.reut/
Agree with RT on the minestrone v. tomato outcome. But hot liquids make you feel better regardless.
By the way, keep eating if you get a fever. The old theory has been debunked. |

I was just about to pipe up with miso soup as another idea -- particularly since I seem to remember that you were on a tuna bowl jag (or something like that) a while back (and so I presume that you like Japanese food). I had a small cold last weekend and the miso was perfect food for quick recovery.

Pho is also a miracle cure for many ailments, including a cold. I think they can give you meatless pho.
Mmmm. Soup.

Yes, I am a fan of the miso as well. Also hot and sour soup works for me. |

Soup is boring. It's nothing but watered down food.

I like soup. I mean, it's no pie, but still.
Mmmm, more pie.
