but what difference does having a cold make? I take it you eat differently when you are ill vs. well? I work in an ER and have had two viruses since beginning... I just keep drinking tons of water, maybe add a little hot herbal tea, and take handfuls of vit. C.

The major mucus producing foods that you should avoid while experiencing an upper respiratory infection are dairy... so maybe back off the cheese... but otherwise I can't see what difference a cold would make.

Guess I'm just dense today!
