I talked to my friend Rena yesterday: she has a coughing son who is exhausted from not sleeping (and she is too!). She and I had talked about cough remedies: she wasn’t going to use over-the-counter cough medicines which have been deemed dangerous for a certain age group, she was considering Vicks vapor rub, tea and honey and a steaming hot shower room.  In the end she used lime and honey in a warmed spoon (she warmed up the spoon to make the honey slip off), a steaming hot shower room and a pillow to prop his head up to help drain his sinuses. He slept 3.5 hours. Glorious! We thought someone might be interested in what actually worked for a coughing fit. (Her son is 18 months).
