Sprite, a comfy bed, and a good night's sleep follow a warm bowl of soup.

I rub them down with Vick's VapoRub, fire up the humidifier and put in a great family movie. Then we cuddle while watching the movie.

As a child I experienced great comfort whenever I had a chest cold or the flu and my mom rubbed Vick's vapor on me, now as a mom i do the same with my kids to give them relief.

I always use Vicks Vapor Rub when my children our sick. I put some on thier chest and put a warm compress over their chest. I find that it is the best remedy for the flu.

I spend time with them watching their favorite dvd and let them have soup and I use vapor rub with the humidifier when they go to bed.

Homemade chicken noodle soup, ginger ale and toast will cure just about anything. Also rubbing Vicks on the bottom of feet. I have no idea why this works, but it does.

My mom used Vicks on my sister and me 60 years ago. I still use it if I get a chest cold.
I've always liked the power of a good story read to a child. Child in my lap if little enough or snuggled up to my side if bigger.

Orange juice or Emergen-C for that vitamin boost to help speed recovery.

I just plain old baby them :) Whatever they want they usually get when they are sick. I make them up a bed on the couch like my mom did when I was little. Then I rub their back or head till they fall asleep.
