I was sick a week ago and there's not much you can take. I drank tea with lemon and honey a lot (decaf), halls cough drops, and a Tylenol at night because I had a bad sore throat and couldn't sleep. That's all I did and it eventually went away. I also tried to get a little extra sleep which I think helped too. Feel better!!

I swear by Vicks Vapor Rub. I especially love it at night because it helps you sleep better. Hope you feel better soon.

I would love to use Vicks. I didn't know if it was safe to use.

Re: What to do for a cough?
I just posted something similar.
Hope you feel better soon. Ciks is OK to use. I used it when I was pregnant with DS#1 anf have been using it during this crazy cough now with DC#2. I just try not to over-use it.
Take care!

The pharmacist said no I should not take a cough drop and gave me halls defense vitamin c drops and my doctor said no vicks vapor rub. I guess I am just going to have to suffer. I feel horrible.
