I have a bad head cold and can taste nothing at all.

[no_hypocrisy]

I *think* I'm hungry but don't know what to eat.

Should I go ahead and eat something I really don't care for, e.g., roasted beets, because I can't taste them?

1. I find fruits or veggies with high amts. of Vitamin C usually taste better

than most things when I have a bad cold with sinus drainage. An orange and broccoli are my faves for these times.

Hope you feel better soon.

2. actually thats sounds tasty!

...for me it would be mushrooms but the feeling of them in my mouth would be worse than the taste

3. Yes. Eat all the healthy foods you normally hate.

For me it would be liver and mushrooms.

5. Try some saline spray or a neti pot to help clear your sinus.

Ibuprofen will help the swelling in your sinus a well.

6. Isn't that a drag?

You see something you know tastes wonderful but you see no point in eating it because it's going to taste like cardboard. You might as well eat something nasty that's good for you; at least you'll get some vitamins and you won't feel hungry.

17. Ther is a Thai restaruant here in Denver that makes a flu-shot soup...

that is a basic chicken broth dumpling soup with a lot of garlic, crushed chili, lemon grass and ginger. Of course dumplings. It's written up in the paper every couple of years. It s only offered Oct.-March. Tasty and it works. It is easy enough to make your own.

15. It sounds horrible but you can't taste it anyhow and it might help clear you up.

8. Also chinese hot mustard will clear you up. nt

9. You can take advantage of this to save money

Drink Budweiser

10. You need some pho.

Get vegetable broth and tofu, you don't need the fat. Fatty food can lead to more mucus.

Spicy, herby, full of vegetables, protein & fluid, and dirt cheap. Get some pho.

11. Buy several pounds of naval oranges....sweet ones...and eat as many as you feel like eating

If that doesn't work, try homemade chicken soup with lots of garlic.

Also, drink lots of your favorite juice, because you need lots of fluids to clear up your cold.
Or, if you're not into juice, drink lots of filtered, sodium-free water.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Thank you for caring and sharing your suggestions.

I'm lucky that right now it's a mere head cold.

19. Take this opportunity to eat some tofu! nt
