Board-Certified Family Nurse PractitionerEating carrots is fine, yet making a warm soup out of carrots might be even better to help you feel better. It is best to eat warm and soothing foods when you have a cold because it helps to soothe your throat, open up sinuses, and is easy to digest. You can add ginger and ghee to enhance the healing properties of the carrot soup for a cold.
