    When Im sick with the flu I always make a homemade chicken and veggie soup (basically broth, chicken breast, peas, carrots) and have LOTS of it,sometimes with slice of bread but usually Im not really hungry while sick..

    2-3 times a day I would drink about 1.5 cups of hot orange juice. I squeeze about 3 oranges and heat the juice in a sauce pan with a bit of cinnamon sticks, 2-3 allspice, cloves, star anise and a bit of honey.
