And rubbing the vick on your feet...yes, your feet is excellent for stopping a tickly cough....though there might be fewer members who want to do the job for you.
And no BOWL of steam...it has to be an ordinary, cheap plastic jug....it concentrates the steam where it is needed most......the nose and the throat......where the germs lurk

Thank you I will be doing this! I've been using a hot water bottle on my chest somebody recommended that. I think I may be getting slightly better

Jen, the ginger and lemon concoction is good too if you cannot tolerate alcohol......ginger and lemon both have good germ killing properties.
