Vicks

My 5 year old son has a cough that really flared up today. There were constant hacks the whole day through. I looked here on earth clinic and saw the Vicks remedy, went to the store a couple hours ago and applied it to the bottom of his feet in the car. I put his socks and shoes on and at my young daughters request we stopped at the park where they played for an hour. There was only 2 coughs in the last couple of hours.

Tonight will be the true test when I put him to bed, but so far I must admit it seems to have made a difference for the better.

This is the second night I've put Vick's on my 6 month old's feet for her cough. Works like a charm. I was skeptical, but she's sleeping like a baby, literally.

I have had wonderful success with coughs for my child with this. I slather the vicks on his feet, put on socks and the coughing stops immediately for 6 plus hours, so we can all get a good nights sleep. If he wakes up coughing, I repeat this, and the coughing stops again. I have not figured out how to stop the cough in the daytime. Have had some success with honey with a pinch of black pepper.

I had heard about Vics for coughs through a friend and within a short time, my grand-daughter came down with a bad cough (every couple of minutes). We used the vapor rub on her feet and put socks on her. Her coughing stopped within 15 minutes and lasted all day! Sooo much better than giving all those over the counter medications.
