oranges tomatoes and other citrus are good because they have vitamin C but have soups - the various veggies in there all have some good vitamins and plus it's warmer so that'll help you too. hope you feel better soon!

Anything high in ZINC. It is clinically proven that Zinc can help cut the duration of your cold in half. Also, try Cold-Eeze or Zicam (they are Zinc products designed to nip that cold in the bud!) --- http://dietary-supplements.info.nih.gov/factsheets/cc/zinc.html Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods (2). Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food, but red meat and poultry provide the majority of zinc in the American diet. Other good food sources include beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals, and dairy products (2,9). Zinc absorption is greater from a diet high in animal protein than a diet rich in plant proteins (2). Phytates, which are found in whole grain breads, cereals, legumes and other products, can decrease zinc absorption (2, 10, 11).(Refer to Table 1: Selected Food Sources of Zinc lists a variety of dietary sources of zinc.)
