Vapo Rub on the feet

My coworker told me a few weeks ago to try slathering vick’s vapo rub on my feet with socks before bed to help my cough. I had a pretty nasty cough so I gave it a try. It actually helped me! I didn’t wake up coughing nearly as often as I had been!

So when Sarah started coughing a few days ago I tried it with her. It has helped her soooo much! She still coughs a little bit, but it’s not keeping her up at night like it was in the beginning.

With all the OTC cold medicine warnings, I was feeling helpless about treating her. You know how it is with sick kids…you’ll try anything!

I did research online and found several articles/postings about it. It seems to be sort of a “myth” or “urban legend” but I just wanted to share that it worked for my family! It’s safe enough that I figured other moms might want to give it a try for their LOs!

I’ll be so glad when Sarah is the “magic” age of 2 and I won’t be so paranoid about OTC medicines anymore!!!
