I was like this 2weeks ago 2006bride and i mailed the vhi nurse and this is the reply that they sent me:
Having said this, choose what you drink carefully. Water, dilute juices and clear soups are all good options. Herbal teas are also good, especially ginger and peppermint, which are soothing, warming and promote sweating (and so the release of toxins via the skin). Freshly squeezed juice is also good since it contains more vitamins, minerals and enzymes than concentrate. Also, fresh juice also has less sugar and, when you have a cold, this may be important.
hth and you feel better soon, plenty of rest too
