You are going to think I’m crazy, but slather Vick’s Vapo Rub on your feet and put socks on before going to bed. I know several people who swear this works, so I tried on my daughter and myself. Darn if it didn’t work. I have know idea why.
i wish i knew a perfect solution to this. my only ideas besides medicine are the ‘spoon of honey’ solution, and just having a hard candy to keep in your mouth at all times. neither always work though, and are quite temporary. ):
@ABoyNamedBoobs03 Very true. The only thing that makes me think there might be something to it is that my daughter was too young to have an opinion one way or the other (husband and I were divided on it) and she was asleep when we put it on her feet. It could still be a fluke, I’m sure.
Also you can rub the Vicks all over your chest and warm a little towel up in the microwave and put it on your chest with the Vicks. And like @jonsblond said, a humidifier really helps.
