Eating at maintenence when sick?

So I definitely feel a cold coming on. Bad news is I'm supposed to be on vacation this weekend, so I'd really like to fight it quickly!
I'm doing all the typical stuff, vitamins, lots of fluids, and rest.
But I was wondering - would eating at maintenance help at all? I'm currently doing -1000 per day and eating my exercise calories back... if I were to eat at maintenance for a couple of days, would it have any impact on me fighting this cold?
I dunno if the missing calories makes it harder for my body to fight infection.
