We have yucky coughs with sore throats here. I made a pot of chicken noodle soup and gave them lemonade, lots of Vit C and am pushing water.
We are having a light school day and will probably pop a movie in soon.
What do you do for your children when they have colds, coughs, a sore throat or the flu?

My son really loves his Mother Earth Heartbeat pillow. It is filled with flax seeds and the "Breathe" herbal blend, so when we heat it in the microwave and put it on his chest, it really helps him. It also has a nice weight and feels good on his chest when all warmed up.

They love when food is brought to them on a special tray. I also freeze Go-Gurt for them to eat. Movies here too.

Praying you all get well soon..........we did that here last month. I do the same as everyone else. They love echinacea tea with honey....in "sippy cups" to drink in the living room.
Last year when all six were sick at the same time  ......I brought a large mattress out to the living room where they slept day and night till they were well.........using the two couches as well. I put blankets underneath one end to lift it like a hospital bed.
