Does anyone know some good household food to help getting rid of the common flu?

Generally, when people have flu they cant eat much at all. Are you confusing it with the common cold? Flu is when you have a high temperature and your head pounds so much you cant get it off the pillow, you are sick and can only drink water, every bone aches and you really cant function at all. This is when you need comfort food, generally soft things like ice cream or custard puddings that go down easily if you have a sore throat. Apart from that I would make what everyone likes, we are all different, but nothing you cn make will cure them, a cold has to run its course.
