Ginger, garlic, broth, tomatoes or anything w/Vitamin C. Lots of chicken broth with or without noodles. Also lots of miso. I avoid milk, cheese, and meats that require a lot of digestion.

Chicken broth packed full of as much garlic as possible.

If I have a cold and you bring me a good pozole, I will be eternally grateful.

hot/spicy soups/stews - pho, kimchi chigae, hot sour soup, etc. Chili, ginger, garlic, vinegar, lemons.
Like Msieu White I avoid milk/cheese, because I think of them as encouraging phlegm (i think a singing teacher told me this once?). For the same reason I avoid chocolate, coffee, also orange juice for some inexplicable reason (it's cool, get enough vitamin c from other foods).
basically i guess I eat 'sharp' and 'clear' foods and avoid 'dull' and 'thick' ones? I did not know i was so prone to magical thinking.

Cream of wheat, hot buttered toast.

Thai food. Favorites are pra ram and that spicy mushroom soup.
I know I'm getting better when I start craving hamburgers.

tom yum - spicy, hot, slightly sour, light. I usually can't bear dairy products when I'm not well, especially butter for some reason. Ginger tea is good. When I had the flu a few months ago, I craved grape juice for some reason.

Ooh I always loved eating a giant bowl of bun bo (spicy beef & noodle soup) @ the Vietnamese restaurant when I was runny-nose sick.
If I'm vomity sick I try to eat foods that don't have a distinctive flavor coming back up.

For general winter sickness and bleurgh, English desserts like steamed syrup sponge and custard. But for blocked nose colds, hot curries.
