Re: Cold!!

No kidding...quit before it does irreversable damage...I've smoked for 35 years. I quit almost 3 years ago, and felt much better...till last summer, when I started smoking again...much to my wife's dismay...she almost killed me...In my case, I don't think it will make any long term difference, but if nothing else, look how much $$$ you will save. IIRC, they're still pretty inexpensive in NC, (at least compared to most of the country) but if you took the $$ you spend on smoking and used it to buy corals............

Re: Cold!!

Hope you feel better Billy... I've been fortunate thus far but I'm sure that's not going to last with these drastic temp swings we have up here.

btw, a question for all you experienced moms..how do you quiet a persistent cough ..aside from the prescribed medicine, elevating his head with extra pillow, saline spray in nose, a cool mist humidifier during day, a vaporizer with menthol liquid at night.
we do all these ...do you just let them cough?
I don't know anything about taking care of kids, but I remember my mom using vic's vabor rub when I had trouble breathing in addition to the humidifier to help for my asthma when I was a wee lad.

Booze - sounds like you are doing all the right stuff. If that doesn't work for him I would take him to see the doc.

I love that stuff still! I rub it on every time I have a cold. Have you tried the new one that you can throw in the shower with you?
Haven't tried that yet.
Also, Vick's NyQuil Gel Caps Nighttime is a god send for me!
I still have alot of congestion in my chest from this thing. Saturday will make 2 weeks for me.

Re: Cold!!

the more 'modern way' of doing the vicks rub is by putting the vicks mentholated liquid in the steam vaporizer

Re: Cold!!

I should of commented way earlier, sorry. But drinking green tea clears the cold faster than any medicine...I'm living proof. Try it next time. Hope you are well.
