Is it "starve a cold, feed a fever" or |
|
"feed a cold, starve a fever"?......and is there any scientific evidence, whatever it is? I have this terrible cold and my head is about to explode and I have no appetite.

1. I wouldn't recommend either.. |
|
.. when you have a fever, it's all about getting some liquid inboard. And when you have a cold, it's usually good to eat warm stuff, like soups.

2. I have heard that you should not "starve" either a cold or fever |
|
You need your strength to fight off your bug, so you need to eat. Maybe a little soup or some toast would be good.
Hope you are feeling better soon.

6. I don't take chances. I "feed" everything. |
|
Soup or broth, clear juices, crackers, and toast are good.

7. Hope you feel better soon. It lasted couple days for me. I can |
|
breath again today. Lots of water helps. Also I used cold medicine. At the cold's worst it wasn't real useful though.
