Ten Foods and Drinks You Need to Have When You are Sick

1. Soup

   Chicken soup seems to work best. Make sure it has lots of broth and that it is nice and hot. It should stop any small cough and open up your nasal breathing. It also tastes good and will put a nice boost of energy into you.

2. Ginger Ale

   I would recommend drinking a whole lot of ginger ale when you have a stomach bug or the flu. It will make you go to the bathroom really fast; this is good because one it makes your stomach feel better and two it gets rid of some of the bad stuff in you that you would loose through puking.

3. Saltine Crackers

   If you have bad stomach acid, heart burn, or just regular stomach aches, than you should just eat some saltine crackers. They are very light on your stomach so they wont make any fullness stomach ache worse, the reason they really work is because the neutralize any of the extra acid you have in your system.

4. Tea
