It really does the trick while they are sleeping.<BR/><BR/>My kids would fight the nose sucking thingee but it was such a great thing when they could finally breathe. <BR/><BR/>The only other thing I would say is to watch out for ear infections. My chicklings always followed a cold with ear problems (the youngest getting tubes when he was 18 months).<BR/><BR/>Love the socks and the pics.

I actually swear by Olbas oil - it smells better. I would never put any of these directly on a babies skin (they can burn)but on a piece of flannel against the skin.<BR/>There was a big hoo-ha a few years back about Vicks being dangerous - I'm not sure how or what the outcome of this was. Most of these substances (Vicks, eucalyptus, don't know about Olbas)are poisonous if ingested, but they are also known to be good, well practised remedies.<BR/>My own 12 year old daughter is off school today with sore throat, cough and slight fever. I should be off to yoga in half an hour but have decided 'not'. She knows I would be going there, but it doesn't matter how old they are, somehow I just have to be here for her when she wakes up. She's going to be angry that we didn't wake her up for school as it is.<BR/>Lots of fluids, steam, hugs and moderate amounts of fresh air help, but it really just has to take it's course.<BR/>Good Luck.<BR/>Janet MF up in YellowknifeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17406806.post-11751375797513540872007-12-17T08:31:00.000-05:002007-12-17T08:31:00.000-05:00I've used eucalypetus oil in a cup of hot water pl...I've used eucalypetus oil in a cup of hot water placed next to a tub, (NOT in the tub), close the door to the bathroom and let the warm bath run.

When our kids are down we use the humidifier, lots of fluids (I usually bribe the kids with juice, which they don't get a lot of), and a little tylenol when the fever kicks in. We usually wear our jammies, enjoy a movie on the couch with blankies and popcorn. Doing something fun and special can help ease things and take their minds off feeling yucky.Meghannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04308411812090412081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17406806.post-24057675398733168302007-12-13T15:50:00.000-05:002007-12-13T15:50:00.000-05:00There's a recipe in Food that Really Schmecks (any...There's a recipe in Food that Really Schmecks (anyone?

It was basically 1 t. of dry mustard, 3 t. of flour and a little water to make a paste.
