Answers:
yes, at least FLUIDS is essential, drink V8 at least or a meal replacement drink like "ensure" or something, you need fuel and energy from food , without proper nourishment the human body will collapse and you will just get even sicker.Health Question & Answer

Yes, eating will boost energy and metabolism to help your body function better. Try not to eat anything heavy like pizza, hamburgers, etc. Soup would be my choice. It warms you up and makes you feel better. Try at least eating twice a day. Especially in the morning. This will start you off the day feeling a little better and get you body going early. After you eat, go lay down. Do not eat so much that you are full. Moderate amounts will do the trick. Try and stay away from soda's and milk. Gatorade and water is a good way to go. Hope you feel better soon.Health Question & Answer

You should definitely eat something. You will need the nutrients of the food if you want to get better. also, not eating can make you feel worse. It can cause stomach aches, nausea, and head aches. Try to eat something simple and bland, such a basic soup or toast. You can also ask a parent or friend for suggestions.Health Question & Answer

That's like obvious....Hello ! Eating is what u should do when u are sick as it provides u with the needed strength to fight the sickness. If u don't eat it will be even harder to get better. Believe me it happened to me 2 weeks ago I Had a viral infection and I didn't feel like eating, I stayed like that for like a week, result: I fainted in the shower .

yeah, it does. Sometimes when I am sick and I don't want to eat, and I still eat, I feel like if I recovered all my energy. Like my grandma says "sick who eats never dies" XD

You probably should unless you're just going to throw up afterwards. Just because you have no appetite, it doesn't mean you're not hungry, if you understand what I mean.Health Question & Answer
