Sick & need advice

So I've gotten a cold. Been sucking down water & broth in addition to food. I noticed I have been eating way more than usual, not because I feel hungry but I think out of comfort from being sick? I think I convince myself that when I'm sick I'm excused of any obligations/ restrictions (ex. I don't need to brush my hair or follow my diet) lol. Does anyone else do this too? I mean I'm following Keto in terms of what I eat but not about how much. My carbs went way up( my limit is 25). Yesterday was 46 and today is already 21 & it's only the afternoon!
What should I do? Fat fast? Some other kind of fast? I feel bloated, sneezy & such. Any advice?

Minerals, minerals, minerals. I hope you're still not sick, but had to chime in.
Seaweed chicken soup is amazing. You get protein, fats, and healthy minerals from the seaweed. Also, a squirt of lemon juice for immune loving vitamin C.
Just keep sipping on hot liquids and soups. It will keep you from overdoing the carbs.
A fat fast is always great, but if you're sick your digestion may want a break, too. Fats just take forever in your intestines and we want your body to focus on fighting your illness.0
