[Margaret Pilkington]

Keep having steam inhalations.....and the best way to have this is in a kitchen jug.....using the pourer spout as a place to rest your nose and closing off the mouth of the jug with the lower half of your face........that way you get the maximum effect from the steam.
Repeat the inhalations every two or three hours.
If you are troubled by a cough, cover the soles of your feet with Vicks......don't ask me how it works, but it is better than any other way of controlling a cough.....especially at night.
(Make sure you wear old socks though)
