pink_sugar Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 I've had a cold for about 2 weeks and lately my appetite hasn't been the same. I haven't been as hungry, however, I seem to crave fruits and veggies all the time. Why is this?
Els Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 2 weeks is a long time! Are you having a fever with that? If you are, time to see a doc, stat. When I'm sick I have less appetite too. If you're craving fruits and veggies, go for it, lots of them have vitamin C and antioxidants.

When I have colds, I am usually sick for about 3 weeks. It is fairly minor compared to some of the colds I have had that were so bad my ribs hurt for a month afterwards. 1

That's a long time to have a cold, you better get yourself checked out if you still feel like this in a few more days. If your ribs hurt from coughing so much, you more than likely have bronchitis and need antibiotics.

My coughing is actually pretty mild...no symptoms of bronchitis or anything else just yet, but I will watch it. Thanks for the responses guys!
bathtub-row Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Fruit is very cleansing. That may be why your body is craving it. I had a bad cold just before Christmas. It kicked my butt for a week. The following week I spent blowing my nose and coughing. It was pretty bad. I'm sorry you're going through that. I discovered Oil of Oregano a couple of yrs ago, which is great for just about everything. It even kills viruses. You can get it at the health food store. There are a lot of expensive brands out there but Solaray makes it for about $10 for 60 caplets. When I'm really sick, I take about 3 / 3 times a day. I hope you get better soon!
