How to get rid of a cold

Of course a couple of days before I have to board germ central station aka planes Liam and me get a cold. His is much worse than mine, but I am hoping the following will help me get us feeling better before Tuesday.  Here is a list of my go to products for colds.

For Liam

 Vicks Baby Rub- This probably works best on smaller babies because toddlers are squirmy plus Liam is ticklish on his neck chest area. I put it on in the evening after bath time and then again right before bed. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Vicks-Vapor-Rub-Baby-Pack-of-2/12169679

Vicks Steam Vaporizor- I had to put a little bit of salt to get it working (directions say that it helps if you have a lot of mineral in your tap water) but once it starts working its awesome and a really good value. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Vicks-Warm-Steam-Vaporizer/15423529

Little Colds- Regular honey does the same thing and is cheaper, but I bought this awhile back before the pediatrion recommended just honey.

For me:

Neti pot- My sister in law told me about this and I was skeptical, but really needed sinus relief I was getting sinus headaches everyday! Anyways long story short this product is a game changer!( I also think this is why my cold isnt as bad as Liam's) It helps so much it's just odd looking when you are doing it. I typically do it the shower for this reason. It does take some getting used to you have to breathe through your mouth when you do it, but after you are used it its awesome!

Ayr- My mom told me about this she uses it when it gets colder and the heat dries out her nose. I use it after the neti pot before bed. It keeps your nose from feeling dry. Its hard to find it's at target, but they typically keep it behind the counter and you have to ask for it.



Honey- I mix honey water and squeeze lemon in a tea cup when ever my throat starts to get scratchy.



OJ- I get tired of regular and the added mango gives it less of an acidic taste!!

Hope we are better by Tuesday I would really like to enjoy the fall in New Hampshire!!
