Staying Healthy While Sick

I've been carefully losing weight over the last 3 months (history of food issues, so I'm being mindful). Recently I got into a musical and am trying to lose another 30 pounds before we open (80 pound goal overall, lost 20 so far).
Well, the day came. I am sick. My throat is scratchy, I'm tired, I'm congested, and even though I'm hungry I don't want to eat. What do you guys do when you get sick? I want to keep working hard but I'm barely mustering the energy to get through my work day, much less workout when I get home today. Should I push through or just rest?

I'd rest and eat nutrient-dense foods at or near maintenance calories for a few days, personally. When sick or injured, healing is job one, IMO.
I'm currently recovering from a fall (small skull farcture, small brain bleed) and doing exactly that myself.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!2
