Do they work? I guess it depends on who you ask! I recently heard of a home remedy to cure the common cold.
You take Vick's vapor rub and massage it into the bottom of your feet. Then put on white socks and go to bed! Presto! When you wake up you will feel like a new person.
I am bringing this up because we are still sick! Norah is not getting better, despite the humidifier. She was up all night last night coughing and this morning her nose is incredibly stuffy. I feel so bad that I cannot help her! I went up to CVS and bought Children's Vick's Vapor Rub. It hasn't seemed to work, YET! Fingers are still crossed.
Do any of you have any home remedies that you used when your children were sick? I would like to hear them! No matter how crazy they are!!
I wonder if I can use red socks instead??? =)

I know someone who swears by garlic in the socks overnight to cure a fever.....but I wouldn't recommend it!
As far as colds....prayer, fluids, avoid drafts, keep hands clean, head elevated and wait it out!
(We've raised one side of crib mattress a bit by putting something to wedge underneath. Not too much though, or she'll be on a homemade slide :-)

My dad just told me about that when I was sick a few weeks ago. I thought he was crazy but maybe I will use that next time I sick!
I hope you and Norah are feeling better soon! Praying for you!
:( I am so sorry you guys are sick...You can use over the counter saline drops for Norah's stuffy nose and "suction" it out with that nose thing:) I know, very technical but I am sure you know what I mean. I always did this after a warm bath and it helped for my kiddos to stay clear through the night so we could all get some sleep. I recently took Taylor into the Pedi. and he told us the same thing with the vicks.
Hope yall feel better soon!
