    agree - possibly with a poached egg on top of the toast, and maybe some chicken stock or a cup of Bovril.

    Mostly though it is usually 'listen to your body' and if there is nothing you feel like eating, then better wait a bit, rather than forcing something down. Have a nice hot bath or a snooze first, maybe?

    Hope you feel better soon!
