Best way to eat when you are sick

I began to feel sick yesterday, sore throat, achy and weak, and it has progressively become worse; coughing, sore throat, congested, the whole Nyquil list.
Should I stay the course with my deficit, or would I recover faster if I upped my calories?

Eat at maintenance for a few days. You may not recover faster, but you'll feel better until you do.2
