need food help please.not baby related

Went to the doctor today and he thinks its just a virus so I don't get antibiotics.
I need advice on what to eat to help a sore throat and lots of drainage. I'm hungry but my throat hurts so bad and I don't know what to eat.
Thanks!!!!

  • Chicken Noodle Soup!

    If you like Thai, Tom Yum or (my preference) Tom Kha soup.

    Yummm you are making me hungry!

    OP DH was sick this week so I had a few things on hand for him- apple sauce, chicken noodle soup, ice cream, mashed potatoes, oatmeal.

    Really anything soft so it doesn't scratch your throat. 


    Thank you. I didn't really want soup but my fiance is bringing me home some. I will also try the things you mentioned. Thank you!!
  • Anything soft/liquid but avoid dairy as it increases mucus. Also avoid citrus based juices such as OJ as the acid can further irritate your throat. Same with coffee but I dont think I could sacrifice that right now! Applesauce, brothbased soups, Popsicles, frozen yogurt actually has very little dairy, mostly sugar. Drink plenty of water!
