Guest guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Holly, Thank you SO MUCH for the info. on the vics rub. has had a runny nose/cold for 2 weeks as of today. She coughed a little every now & then at night. Saturday night however she had a really bad cough in the early morning hours, and it was her worse cough in ages. Sunday night I put a light coating on the bottom of her feet, but without socks. She still sleeps in a sleep sack, hates shoes and socks, so I thought I'd better not push it. She did NOT cough once last night. My parents were in town through this morning, and they sleep next door to her. I sleep across the hall ('s got stomach bug so he slept downstairs). We all kept our doors open, and she never made a sound. I've had a sinus drainage, and cough a little each night. I put the vics on my feet with socks, and not a peep out of me either. I took to the Pediatrician's office this morning, because we'd agreed that if her nose was still out of control this morning she'd better be seen. She's got a lot of gunk up her nose, and fluid in her left ear. She's afraid since it's not clearing up that it would turn into an ear infection. is now on Amoxicillin. I mentioned the vics to her, and she'd actually heard that recently. usually doesn't have a cough, so she hadn't mentioned it on recent previous visits. Thanks again, Nina Fw: VICKS VAPO RUB INTERESTING Can't hurt to try! VICKS VAPO RUB INTERESTING During a lecture on Essential Oils, they told us how the foot soles can absorb oils. Their example: Put garlic on your feet and within 20 minutes you can 'taste' it. Some of us have used Vicks Vapo rub for years for everything from chapped lips to sore toes and many body parts in between. But I've never heard of this. And don't laugh, 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 Vapo rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, 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. Just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good, due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprise finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. My wife tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, ( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough-free for hours every night that she used it. If you have grandchildren, pass this on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed at how it works. DON'T SHUN THIS ONE..
