    Hi all,

    Everytime he catches a cold or seasonal things, he is completely fine by the day.
    Only after he goes to bed, in 10 minutes, he starts coughing and finally vomits.

    We tried many things like:
    1. Giving him dinner 3 hours before bedtime.
    2. Milk 1.5 hours before bedtime (or completely avoiding milk)
    3. Using Pillows
    4. Applying vicks
    5. Giving honey

    But nothing seems to help. During christmas, it went around for 10-12 days. Now it has started again.

    I feel quite bad that the child goes to sleep and is disturbed by coughing. Then he gets a bit cranky.

    Any suggestions please would be extremely helpful

    Thanks
    Pavithra

    How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!!

    This is a must try....

    We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough. Try this and pass it on. The tip and not the cough. ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects.

    WOW! I was raised, and raised my kids with Vicks. How come I never knew this? I can't wait for my next cough. Amazing!

    READ IT ALL. It works 100 percent of the time, although the scientists at the Canada Research council (who discovered it) aren't sure why.


    Treatment:

    To stop night time coughing in a child (or an adult, as we found out personally), put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks.


    Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

    My friend tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked
    100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it.


    If you have children or grandchildren, pass it on. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed.

    Thank you Pawarju.

    Unfortunately, it does not seem to work. I have been doing this for a long time now. Applying vicks on feet and putting socks on
