Ah! So is this why chicken soup is a sickness staple? Interesting. I think I'll buy some Tom yum paste and check what kind of broth it produces for future since I like the taste and it's both salty and fatty and I can get it in neat little bags that will survive the coming nuclear war.

Salty, fatty broth! Not only does it help replace fluids, but the hot salt water breaks down mucus and the fats coat your throat to protect it. It's also light, but still contains nutrients, so if you're too queasy it's easy on the stomach and digestive system.
