Check this out......

To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out
personally), put Vicks Vapor rub generously on the bottom of the feet
at
bedtime, then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing
will stop in about 5 minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of
relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than
even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is
extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard
the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the
part of their scientists when they were investigating the
effectiveness
and usage of prescription cough medicines in children as compared to
alternative therapies like accupressure. Just happened to tune in
A.M.Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in
kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these
strong drugs so, I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to
be
more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, in
addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who
then
went on to sleep soundly. Lolly tried it on herself when she had a
very
deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%!
She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her, coughing
stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep, (incredibly
annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept
cough-free for hours every night that she used it.
If you have grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it
yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
