Feed a cold, starve a fever.
"Colds must run their course, but there are some things you can do to ease the symptoms.
Drink lots of fluids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can lead to dehydration.
If you smoke, try to stop until your head clears up. Stay away from secondhand smoke if you can.
Use a humidifier to moisten the air.
Continue to eat healthy foods."
"To treat a fever:
Stay hydrated with water, juice, or broth.
Eat when you feel hungry and your stomach can tolerate it.
Avoid bundling up too much. Although fever makes you feel chilled, overbundling can raise body temperature.
Get plenty of rest.
Take OTC NSAIDs.
If you have a fever that lasts more than a few days, see your doctor. Whether it’s the flu or not, you may need more than home remedies."
