We were a HUGE gingerale and Mylanta family when we had tummy issues. Definitely lots of bland toast, and maybe some wonton soup from the local Chinese restaurant when I was feeling better. 

Pastina in chicken broth with LOTS of butter!

Mmmm Crispix with butter. Heat it up, throw in a stick of butter and sprinkle with salt. It’s like popcorn, only more buttery somehow. 

Soup and the pink cough medicine. But mostly the pink cough medicine. I could never have enough. Tasted amazing. Still would drink today, 10/10.

Grilled cheese Mato soup ginger ale Maury and Jerry Springer. In that order

We've talked about what you'd watch when you were home sick as a kid, but I wanna know what you were fed by your parents/guardians. 

If it was tummy issues, I always got 7-up that i was told to SIP, because that made a difference, and saltines. If it was a sore throat, my mom always melted honey and butter together to help soothe my throat. It was so yummy I'd sometimes lie about my throat hurting just for more.
