Have you been to doctor to rule out strep?
Make soups. Finely shred some cabbage, chicken broth add crumbled bacon for taste and just leave set on low on stove stiring occasionaly, or in a covered slow cooker set to low.
Warm teas can be very soothing on throats as well. I love my herbal teas. Good Earth puts out a tea for colds, I havn't tried it yet. It's in the cupboard just in case.
You might try getting some protien shakes and sip very slowly. Get a thin one such as EAS ready made, or make an Atkins one, just with 1 scoop instead of 2. These can be warmed as well if that makes it go down easier.
If you can handle dairy, maybe some plain unsweetened yogurt. You can also mix 1/2 cup with 1 scoop Atkins chocolate shake mix for a pudding like treat.
Keep eatng mostly LC so you don't wind up with a stomach ache on top of everything, but I wouldn't obsess with it. If you feel something moderate carb will help and help you get food in, go for it. Those LC tortillas are nice on upset stomachs, though may be very hard for you to swallow.
