Stay in bed
Drink lots of non-caffeinated, non-alcoholic beverages
Hot herbal tea with lemon and honey
Keep fever and aches down with Tylenol or Motrin
(Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen)
Lemon and honey cough drops
Vitamin C supplements
Eat light foods (soup, crackers, etc.)
Drink water and juices, and don't eat/drink dairy products or soda

Rest, lots of fluids, preferably water, and if you cannot control the cough ask your doctor for prescriptive cough medicine, use it only at night. The body needs to cough to expell the crud that collects in the bronchus and lungs as a result of infection, the cough does that.

Alena,
If you have laryngitis
give you voice a rest
drink plenty of fluids
if on antibiotics take until all gone
If its the flu
for a fever
stay under the cover
that should sweat out the fever.
