The Triaminic Long Acting Cough (berry flavored dye free) worked incredibly well for my kids. <BR/><BR/>Alisa, I HAVE heard of the vapor-rub solution, but I thought it was only for babies. But if you've used it on your older kids, I'll give it a try.<BR/><BR/>Jennica -- I was close..... SO close to calling your dad, but I never know if he'll care or not. I'm sure he gets WAY too many calls from non-patients as it is.The Gardner Ganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439806009878656795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465504641968403629.post-37793833247806581272008-02-15T08:52:00.000-07:002008-02-15T08:52:00.000-07:00Bummer, Carolyn.

Its associated with the meridans that run in the feet and they are supposedy connected somehow to respiratory health. I don't know if I'm explaining that right, but it worked for my kids who have had this night time cough. Also, I use an inhaler when it gets really bad or last for a long time.

He just chews them up and I think it helps numb his throat at least a little bit.<BR/><BR/>Or wait, they actually have things for kids- those little melting strips. Maybe they would help.Jennifer https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358860483353141971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465504641968403629.post-13198529346737693662008-02-12T20:21:00.000-07:002008-02-12T20:21:00.000-07:00I feel your pain.
