We're a Vicks family! I stock up on the tissues with Vicks, Vapo Rub and loads of chicken soup when my kids are sick.

My eldest has this doll she's had since birth and when she's feeling sick or sad, we give it a bath in the washing machine and that makes her feel better.

Well, I try to get them their favorite foods and toys. Always tell them the pets are happy today and theywant you to be too.

We are a three generation Vicks family. Our most common use for it is to rub it on our feet right after a hot bath at night. We put cotton socks on right away and it really helps my little one with congestion and head colds. My mom always rubbed it all over my chest and then put a soft cotton flannel cloth on over it.
spoonful of chocolate syrup for sore throat, always helped me as a kid!

Give them a bowl of soup, their medication, and give them my love and support.

When my kids are sick, I make some homemade chicken noodle soup. They ususally want that with some crackers and ginger ale. I hate it when they are sick! Vicks is perfect, because I don't like to give them a lot of medicine. It is really soothing, and helps them breathe, so they can sleep.

I'm dealing with strep throat for the 6th time this year right now so I'm almost an expert on this. lol j/k I'm give them motrin and plenty of drinks. I'm real big on cuddling with them when they are sick. They get to lay around and watch some cartoons. I'm so ready for the sick season to be done and over with.
