 There isn't much need to develop explosive power in the upper body (unless you are training to be an olympic lifter, as littlesimongeorge mentioned above)

 

 

 I am doing this for Boxing. So basically I want to develop my explosive power and try not to bulk up.

So it would be best to stay away from cold foods and even cold water?

Depends what the sickness is, really.   If it was something like a stomach-bug I'd avoid food completely and just sip water, clear broths and hot drinks.  If it's a cold (like I had last week) where the appetite isn't affected but the taste-buds are, I'd be tucking into strongly-flavoured foods.  If recovering from a fever or an operation it would probably be light, easily digested foods that would get the appetite back.... steamed fish, stewed fruit, mashed potato.  I think you have to go with what feels right at the time

    It's actually a sore throat, a bad cough, and a stuffy nose. Which specific foods would help heal as fast as possible?

Eating protein is not going to make you "bulk up" and neither is lifting. I am assuming you are female and not taking any steroids. Also, protein is very important for basic cellular function. You want about 30% of your calories to come from protein.

 No, I'm a male.... and I don't take steroids.
