Hugs and kisses, lots of fluids and thats it....we always ride out a cold and she survives -and only has one or two per year.

I give DD warm chamomile tea. I just think it soothes her a bit and she loves it. She asks for it once in a while when she is well and I'll make her a little sippy of it.

I add Eucalyptus oil to the water of the humidifier.

I haven't had to really deal with this yet with DS as he really hasn't had a bad cold yet...knock on wood.... but just wanted to say my grandmother did this with myself and my brothers and we were never sick for long when we were younger....

I elevate the head of their bed with rolled up bath towels under the mattress.
Humidifier running in their room during naps and at night.
Last winter for coughs we tried rubbing Baby Vicks on their feet. The first night it seemed to help, but after that the coughing seemed just as bad.

Lots of fluids, humidifier or steam, saline drops if needed.

My mom had suggested it, so I thought I would try it since Kaila always has a bad cough. Now she calls it medecine, and sometimes even asks for it when she wakes up coughing
