FYI about VICKS VapoRub
Winter is come if you having a bad cold or really bad caugh, try this one for heal up.
It works 100% of the time, although the scientists who discovered it aren't sure why.
To stop night time coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks VapoRub generously on the soles of your feet, cover with socks, and the heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines.
In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.
Thanks for that information! That is great to know. I haven't gotten a cold in a while, but when I do the coughing is awful. I will have to try that next time.
The only way I used vapor rub before was on my chest and put a dry washcloth over it. I laid beneath my blanket and the vapors would rise into my nose and mouth to calm the cough and help me sleep at night with a cold. But your suggestion is even better for me to try. I just hope I don't end needing to use it because I hate colds. LOL
