A member asked:

What vegetarian food/diet is best while having a fever, a terrible soar throat and cough?

Virus: This is most likely a viral upper respiratory tract infection. A special diet is not mandatory but eating a light diet while running a fever is a good policy. Emphasize adequate fluid intake and tylenol (acetaminophen) and a soothing cough syrup like robitissinDM should help. Lozenges and/or gargles sooth the soreness in the throat.
