Since we've been getting dumped on with the snow all 3 of my kids have colds. I'm wondering what the best things that you do for your kids when they are sick to make them feel better, and get better.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try the honey with my 5 and 2 year old, I'm alittle if-y about giving it to my one year old.

My kids are a little older now 10, 9, and 8 but when they don't feel good they love taking a warm bath. You can now buy bubbles (I think by Johnson and Johnson) that are menthol scented...like Vicks. My kids call them medicine bubbles. I have found some stores carry there own brand of them so they are cheaper than name brand. I don't know why but they always seem to feel better and sleep wonderfully. Hope your 3 feel better soon

If they have runny/congested noses give them some claritin, and lots of fluids and rest. The claritin will dry up the mucus and if theres a cough, it will help with that too. Most cough is from the mucus going down the throat. Hope they feel better soon!

Thank you for te advice. I'm hoping not to have to use claritin because they are very young children. Also Thank you for the well wishes.

When my kids get colds, they love having soup for dinner and toast for breakfast. It is like that is their sick food. I usually will call the doctor and see what he suggest on the medicine. I always give Tylenol for the fevers.
