I’ve been really sick lately with a sore throat and cough, and i was wondering if there are types of food i can avoid that has possibly made it worse. Also what kinds of food can i eat that will make it better, or relieve the pain of my throat?

  1. sweet tarts and prob. like citrusy fruits will agravate it. only advil will help. try gargling with listerine. yes i t will burn but it will heal much quicker same with cancasores. they will heal withing 3 days if you rinse AM and PM

  2. Pineapple, canned or frozen! Avoid it!

  3. Jello, ice cream, cream of wheat, soups. These will help. Spicy foods may hurt. Also grainy foods.

  4. Tabasco flavored potato chips.

  5. Anything with sugar in it, and dairy products. So, even though ice cream feels good going down, it feeds the bacteria sugar and the amino acid tryptophan.

    Honey is a sugar that is antimicrobial, and peanut butter also inhibits bacteria.

    If you’re 21 or over, brandy with honey and lemon will make it feel better. I gargle it before swallowing — kill the germs, kill the sick feeling;)

  6. mint, lemon, honey, all good for you.

  7. i think ramen noodles would be good for your throat too, they are a warm soup, and it is filling. yay! something you can eat!
