Lemon juice + boiling water + honey for a sore throat. Throwing some ginger in there is really good, too.
I love Gatorade and Powerade when I'm sick, it's often all that I'll drink because water usually makes me more nauseous if my stomach is upset.
Ramen noodles.
I eat whatever I have a random craving for, especially if I haven't been hungry at all recently. That way I at least get something in me! I tend to lose weight very easily when I'm sick because I just never feel like eating.
Also: a hot shower and getting out of the apartment does amazing things for me when I don't feel good. Fresh air is really good for clearing out that dull, headachey, stuffy-foggy feeling. And then coming home, putting on some super comfy pajamas, and passing out on the couch with a heated blanket or wrapped in plenty of warm blankets to sleep the rest of the sickness away helps, too.
