Good evening everyone!I'm going to Disneyland on Thursday cannot wait but 2 kids are getting sick any home remedies for cough at night????
Rub some vicks on chest and bottom of feet. My mom would warm up in her hand and put on and always seemed to help me. - stevesdisneyprincess

You took the words out of my mouth lol good advice don't forget the Vicks on the feet :) - annjay07 134.6 #2525 10:14PM
Yes this!! Especially the bottom of the feet. - Deltachiq 969.0 #90 10:14PM
Glad to hear this doesn't sound weird lol. When I have told others this about warming up and put on bottom of feet I would get the "huh" look lol - stevesdisneyprincess 80.7 #3268 10:18PM
Oh wow! I didn't see your post 1st, but I also said to put it on the feet! Great minds can help one another :) - mrscttlemstr 236.9 #1144 10:21PM
They sure do Mrs :) - stevesdisneyprincess 80.7 #3268 10:24PM
Thanks I'll try anything right now! - disneyland4me 231.0 #1226 11:10PM
I always cover them with clean socks too :) Hope your little ones get better soon! - tiggertwin 317.8 #531 11:13PM
I think I'm addicted to Vicks :) great advice. It really works. Hope everyone gets better soon. - pinkmonkeys 321.5 #515 12:00AM

Thanks! - disneyland4me 231.0 #1226 10:07PM
This but I prefer chamomile caffeine free and lots of fresh squeezed lemon juice and sugar. - aidensmama 336.5 #445 10:21PM
I've heard a spoonful of honey in hot water helps. - mousejedi

Thanks I'll try it ;) - disneyland4me 231.0 #1226 10:00PM
My parents used to give us warm honey with a squeeze of lemon..it seemed to so the trick along with Vicks on the chest, throat and back! Then cover up tightly in warm pjs and blankets! Best of luck! - Prettynpink1023 276.2 #765 10:31PM
run the hummidifier, do the honey thing, and a some childrens nyquil - GoofyMom77
108.7 #2923 10:02PM
Thanks I need to get some children nyquil. - disneyland4me 231.0 #1226 10:06PM
yes humidifier, especially if heat is on. Really helps. Zicam etc. everyday! - ShariRenee 1505.7 #51 10:18PM
^yes a humidifier is great especially for the croup or any congestion from illness. I prefer the cold mist ones just to be on the safe side. - aidensmama 336.5 #445 10:23PM
they also have the vicks humidifier that works good too. - MrMom626

My little guy is just getting over being sick. Vicks, cool mist humidifier, and Hylands cough and cold. It's homeopathic and seemed to work great for Hunter. - MrsDisneyMommy29

Coughs get worse as they lay down. Elevate their lil heads and a lil cough medicine. We are experiencing Night #2 with this - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint
1798.5 #42 10:14PM
Oh sorry- saw you said home remedies - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint 1798.5 #42 10:15PM
My little one is prone to coughing. Elevating his head at night has worked the best. My kids are older, but my Indonesian mother-in-law would put Vicks on their backs and then cut a fresh ginger root and rub it over their backs. It does loosen the congestion. I never knew about the feet. I will have to try that too! - RadiatorSprings4Ever 136.1 #2501 11:48PM
Okay, this will sound weird, but it REALLY works. Cover the soles of their feet in Vicks vapor rub and then put a few layers of socks over them. - DisneyDavidEMT
451.6 #273 10:18PM
Didn't see the other comments about the feet trick, so I will just say...they are all correct!! - DisneyDavidEMT 451.6 #273 10:19PM
No great that you commented cuz cuz I totally forgot to add to put socks after to keep the warmth! - stevesdisneyprincess 80.7 #3268 10:21PM
Funny how we are all suggesting this! LOL - mrscttlemstr 236.9 #1144 10:23PM
And a couple of layers so the Vicks doesn't seep through and make a mess on the sheets - DisneyDavidEMT 451.6 #273 10:23PM
A lot of people do not know this but if you rub Vick vapor rub on the bottom of their feet it helps with coughing. Put socks on after you put the rub on. I know it sounds crazy, but it helps! - mrscttlemstr
236.9 #1144 10:19PM
Sounds crazy but works wonders
- stevesdisneyprincess 80.7 #3268 10:32PM
Really? Vicks on the feet? I've never heard of that. How does that help with a cough? - Waites4DodgerEars

Your feet have soooo many pores in them, um well, I don't know but it works! - mrscttlemstr 236.9 #1144 12:48PM
Idk if kids can drink emergen-c but it works for me and I get sick a lot and very easily take it twice a day - princessVanessa

Elevate their head by putting a pillow under the mattress or some rolled up towels - MaidMiriam

I've had problems with asthma/bronchitis since I was a baby. The humidifier helps the coughing. Also, sometimes my mom used to boil water and pour it into a huge bowl. I would drape a towel over my head and around the bowl to trap the steam and breathe in deeply. I still do this when I get a chest cold--it's really soothing. - Spoonful_O_Sugar

Honey!! A little bit in some liquid 30 minutes before bed...I swear, it works like magic!! No more coughing at night! 😊 - MinnieMousewife

This all sounds so cozy. I wish I was under blankets with warm feet and a warm tea with honey☕. I usually give my kids warm honey with a few drops of lemon it, I'll have to try the Vicks on the feet. - Philliprocks
