Are you running a fever? I know that when I get sick now (low-carbing,
mostly
paleo) I can't run a fever until I carb-up, which I usually do with
fruit.
I've had VERY long colds (month long) that only got worse with dry
itchy
troat
that made me cough all the time. With a carb-up I just run a fever and
the
cold is gone within a couple of days. I usually wait a couple of days
to
see if the cold goes away on its own (becaus I don't want to eat carbs
unnecessarily) but then I pig out :)

Of course your problem may be completely different.
