This… My great grandmother always gave us kids this syrup and by the time we woke up we were much better. Till this day I use it. Now for the VID I did a mustard powder paste. That also worked well. Within 24 hours my husband was brand new like he was never sick. I would not recommend the paste for any child.
Nasal spray decongestant, it helps with the headaches caused by congestion. Lots of green tea with honey, honey is great for sore scratchy throats/ cough. Advil too if needed for body pain/ headache. I’m just getting over some yucky sickness, and those things helped tons! I have 4 children, one who’s a toddler and doesn’t understand I’m sick lol
Feel better Mama!

It’s good to start teaching them you are sick. Ask for help getting water etc. Meds.
They need to see and understand. My daughter is now 4 and I could tap out the whole day and she’ll lay next to me or play in her room so well. She has a snack basket in the pantry and I fill her giant water bottle up

I put honey in my tea, depending how bad my throat is sore, I will just eat a tablespoon of honey, orange juice, I run the shower on pure hot, let it steam and just sit on the toilet or edge of the tub to breath in the steam, and Buckley’s cough and congestion cough syrup. I also got a Vicks machine that blows the most while I am sleeping
