Answers:
I really feel your pain! I had an awful cold and sore throat but it developed while I was at a sleepover!. I was absolutely fine, but within half an hour I felt SO sick! My glands were up and I couldnt more my neck without it hurting!.

First you should go to a sink [laundry is the best so you dont spread germs into the bathroom or kitchen] and cough up as much mucus and snot as you can!. It sounds gross and will probably make you gag depending on the severity of your cold, but the mucus is filled with germs that will just make you feel worse if not coughed up!. Spit right inot the plughole and rinse down with water straight away to avoid germs spreading!. This whole part sould absolutely revolting, but trust me - you'll feel much better afterwards!.

Keep your fluids up!. Drink lots of water, even if it makes you feel yucky!. Warm/hot water with a teaspoon or two of honey will soothe your throat!.

Avoid dairy!. Someone answered this question telling you to drink milkshakes and eat icecream!. This will NOT make you feel better!. In fact, this will make you feel so much worse!. Dairy builds up mucus and snot, which will make you feel very blocked up and stuffy!. Your nose will run a milliontimes more than before, too!. Just avoid all dairy!

Eat icypoles!. These will not only soothe your throat, but they have energy which you will need!. Normal ice is great too, but dont bite it - biting ice damages the enamel on your teeth!

Soup is the best thing!. Soup will make you feel fuller because it is a liquid, and is easy to swallow!. Dont drink acidic soups like Tomato soup!. It will most-likely make your throat hurt more, and could even cause ulcers!. Stick to Pumpkin or Chicken and Corn soup!

Take your Vitamins! Vitamin C works wonders for colds/sore throats!

Please take care of yourself!. Sleep and rest is the best thing you can do! I honestly know exactly how you feel!. I have gotten colds so bad that my glands would swell up so much that it looked like I didnt have a neck! [Gross, i know]!.

rinse with warm salt water!.

take an aspirin and allow it to dissolve in your mouth!.

both of these will ease the pain somewhat!.

i would recommend mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, anything soft!. sherbert or an iced drink would also be somewhat soothing!.

soup is a good idea, but if it's not what you feel like eating!.!.!. try a very simple smoothie, just ice and a banana and whatever other fruit you have lying around (strawberries, oranges, anything really)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Jello, yogurt, oatmeal, popsicles, applesauce, rice, soup, creamed potatoes, cranberry sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Soup; preferably soup with a good bit of sodium in it!. The heat plus salt will ease your throat as you eat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cold soft things like popsicles, and fruit!. Steer clear of dairy, it builds up mucus and makes things a lot worse!.
