Night time coughing in children

Posted , 3 users are following.

ive recently found out about rubbing a spot of vapour rub/ Vicks on the soles of a child's feet at bedtime to stop them coughing. Well I thought I would share this trick as its a miracle and really works. I used it 3 nights in a row on my 6 year old son and he didn't cough all night.

    Hi juju1966

    you are so correct about this ,it also works for adults as well ,an old lady told me this years ago and always use the method,

    The same old lady also told me to put a 100grms of black bullets into a bowl and cover them competely in vinegar, leave overnight to make a cough syrup ,this also works very well .

    By the way black bullets are a sweet ,bought in old faashioned sweet shops or on the internet ,sell by the name of JESMONA BLACK BULLETS

    Hi I hope you see my Message. I would take your son to the doctors if you haven't already, night time coughing is a common symptom of Asthma and has to be took seriously. It's always best to be on the safe side.
