Guest guest Posted November 11, 1998 Report Share Posted November 11, 1998 Hi all..... I'm still here:-) My daughter has a terrible cold and is taking cold medication. Now she is like her mother and not sleeping because her legs are bouncing all around and she can't get comfortable. She doesn't know what is the cause... but unfortunately I do. So......either she coughs her head off and can't breathe or she has the RLS symptoms from hell. Any ideas for little ones? Me.... I can sit up all night and do jumping jacks.. but she has school in the morning. She is only 7. LIke me, she is starting the RLS early. Thanks guys..... and may peace remain in the camps. in Atlanta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 1998 Report Share Posted November 11, 1998 If the both of you are sleepless why not put her in a nice warm bubble bath (soothes my restless limbs and makes me sleepy). For the cold ply her with chicken broth that you've made from some good boullion cubes and add a few noodles and if she'd like, some soda crackers, rub her chest with Vicks, put some Vicks in a vaporizer that gives off warm mist (I hate the cold kind) in her bedroom. Keep doing this till she feels better. Back in the dreamtime I remember my Mum hovering over me when I was sick and just her presence and concern made me feel nice inside even in my misery. Pleasant dreams and CHEERS! Jeanne and Mr. Biggles in Poultney VT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
