Ginger tea will help your stomach if it's that type of sick (nasal drainage)
Warm compresses against your sinuses
Soak in a bath with epsom salts
Lots and lots of water and herbal teas (ginger, mint, chamomile)
Hope you feel better.

Almost forgot...
Honey and lemon juice mixed with hot water. Honey has antiseptic properties and aides in healing, lemons have vitamin C which will boost your immune system. Drink it like tea.

water is the BEST thing you can do for your body if you're getting sick. stir some EmergenC into it and drink up!
