Might as well just fill up the page with nonsense, and keep trying to spend some quality time with a bottle of crown
sleddingmom will chime in here and fix ya right up
Awww. I just love you guys!. Ok.
Step one put socks on. No bare feet allowed! If you have a snotty nose you can rub eucalyptus oil mixed with olive oil over your feet, that will help with conjestion. Use vicks if you don't have eucalyptus oil. Zinc and vitamin C are important. I pick elderberries and make a syrup out of it for the kids. You can get it at a health food store, would be called sambucol, elderberries are great for boosting your immune system. I run the kids baths with lavender/eucalyptus. If you are snotty, don't use dairy products! I make the kids and Sleddingdad all kinds of soup when they are sick. A special broth if you have a pukey kind of flu is. Use the peelings from organic potatoes and carrots (about 2 of each) garlic, onion and a bit of grated up ginger. Put a tablespoon of salt and a few cups of water then simmer for a half an hour. This is good to settle the stomach and get a bit of hydration and strength back in ya.
A netti pot is really good for cleaning out the sinuses. It looks like a little watering can that you fill with a saline solution. You stick the spout up your nose and pour the water in which flushes out your sinuses. Not too fun but it works.
I hope you feel better!

Sleddingdad is one lucky dude.
We love having you on the site mom:d:d.
I'm one fortunate dewd. I haven't had a cold or the flu since '97':d
what i do is a totally different route= Visit to a medicine man(lucky to have one for an uncle)drink some tea that he boils up(ingredients can be found everywhere(we all probly quad/sled by/ontop of them), sleep and next day your back to brand new. Haven't had any prescription drugs or doctors since i was 5(doctos only for physicals=uuuugh,coff)
But what i heard from the s&m mom is fantastic, Not that many moms give out their trade secrets but when they do , gather round ,unplug your ears and make mental notes. "Moms ALWAYS know best":d
