    This is very normal, in my knowledge. When you have a cold, your body likely is demanding more fuel and nutrients to help fight off the invading virus. When you're hungry and have a cold, eat something healthy, like good soup with lots of chicken/veggies, etc. Listen to your instincts, in this case. :)

    Sometimes you like to eat coz you can't smell so can't really taste and you keep searching for something tasty.
